Aggressive Pursuit of Rightful Compensation

The DeVoto Law Firm represents victims of serious personal injury in Greater St. Louis and eastern Missouri. Our record of verdicts and settlements goes back more than 30 years. And the insurance companies are well aware of our courtroom success.

We Need to Start Right Away
Evidence and witnesses disappear quickly. The sooner we can get our investigators to the scene of the injury, the stronger your case for full compensation for a serious personal injury. Contact our St. Louis office immediately at 866-961-0330.

Trial lawyer Mr. DeVoto is known far beyond St. Louis for his knowledge and results in a wide range of cases:

• Defective products (auto defects, machinery, consumer products and more)
• Natural gas and propane explosions
• Auto accidents and truck accidents
• Gasoline tanker explosions
• Construction accidents and workers’ compensation
• Wrongful death
• Slip and fall injuries — A business or property owner has a duty to address spills, tripping hazards, construction defects or other unsafe conditions. One client shattered vertebrae in a stairway collapse.
• Dog bites — There is no “one free bite” in Missouri. A dog owner can be strictly liable for any injuries. Children are especially vulnerable to serious personal injury: disfigurement (facial scarring) and nerve damage or disability to arms and legs.

Many of our clients have suffered permanent and catastrophic harm, such as traumatic brain injury, burn injury, explosion injury or paralysis. We pursue the long-term damages for a lifetime of needs.

Managing Your Case for Maximum Damages

The best interests of our clients guides everything we do:

• We investigate quickly and carefully to build a case that will hold up in court.
• We don’t file suit until we know the full extent of injury and future needs.
• We will go to trial if the insurance company won’t budge on a low ball offer.
• If there is too little insurance, we limit spending on experts so we don’t eat into our client’s settlement.

“Don’t you do medical malpractice?”
Mr.  DeVoto has secured major awards in past medical negligence cases. However, changes in the law to protect doctors, hospitals and all health care providers from lawsuits have made these difficult cases even tougher. Mr. DeVoto still handles select cases in which the negligence is clear and resulted in death, permanent disability or significant economic losses.
