Our Services & This Website

This website is designed to give you some basic information about the types of cases handled by the attorneys of Lear Werts LLP. The firm’s practice areas – and this website – are generally divided into three areas: (1) injury cases, (2) employment matters, and (3) federal and complex litigation.

Injury

In the Injury section of the website, you will find information on the common types of personal injury cases. These include motor vehicle accidents of various types, including Car crashes, Tractor-trailer crashes, and Motorcycle crashes. Though there are certain similarities to a motor vehicle personal injury claim, there are also key differences that an injured person should know about. Some of those distinctions – though by no means all – are addressed in pages of the Injury section of the site. In addition, you will find information about other types of Missouri personal injury claims, such as Slip and falls, Dangerous roadways, and Workers compensation. This section of the website also contains information on certain types of injuries that typically require specialized consideration in a personal injury case – namely Traumatic brain injuries and Spinal injuries. Finally, you will find a relatively comprehensive outline of the different types of Insurance coverage that must be considered by a Missouri personal injury lawyer and the prospective client.

Employment

In the Employment section of the website, you can find information about the various employment law claims that must be considered in a Missouri wrongful termination. For example, there are pages on Employment discrimination, Sexual harassment, Retaliation, and Disability discrimination. The Missouri employment lawers of Lear Werts LLP also handle claims filed by groups of employees, whether it be due to Mass layoffs or the company’s failure to properly account for all time worked by its employees resulting in Unpaid overtime. Employment law claims are very fact-specific, but the Employment section of the website provides the basic framework for determining whether a recently terminated or otherwise aggrieved employee may have a valid legal claim.

Litigation

The attorneys of Lear Werts LLP concentrate on litigation – that is representing their clients’ interests in a lawsuit filed in court or in another quasi-judicial venue. The Litigation section of this website provides you with some basic information on Lear Werts LLP’s litigation practice. In addition to the injury and employment litigation handled by our attorneys, Lear Werts LLP handles Commercial contingency cases – i.e., cases filed by small companies were our attorneys are only paid if they successfully recover for the client – as well as Insurance disputes and Investor fraud cases. The attorneys of Lear Werts LLP maintain a robust Federal court practice where they puruse cases on behalf of individual clients as well as Class and collective actions.
