Wuestling & James both prosecutes and defends major personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits.
Our personal injury defense team is led by Rick Wuestling, a member of Best Lawyers in America in personal injury defense. We have the knowledge and experience to defend a complex personal injury or wrongful death case to a successful verdict in State or Federal Court. Some of the many complex personal injury cases we have defended include, but are not limited to, quadriplegia from diving into a swimming pool, brain damage from carbon monoxide, death from carbon monoxide, trucking accidents resulting in death and/or serious personal injuries, paraplegia as a result of being rear-ended, and many others.
Our prosecution of personal injury cases is led by Tom Fagan. In 2006, Missouri Lawyers Weekly named Tom as one of Missouri’s up incoming young trial lawyers. Our prosecution of personal injury cases centers on suits involving catastrophic injury, such as brain damage, amputation, paralysis, wrongful death, and job-related injuries. Our personal injury attorneys thoroughly investigate the facts to build a solid case. Recognizing the liable party and aggressively pursuing the facts, Wuestling & James is committed to getting clients back on their financial feet again. We have obtained large settlements in cases involving third degree burns, brain damaged newborns, toxic exposure from a product, construction site accidents, and jail cell hanging. In addition, our firm has a wealth of experience and knowledge with respect to workers' compensation claims.
