Why Choose a Personal Injury Lawyer Who Knows Clayton?

Clayton isn't just another suburb—it's the seat of St. Louis County government and home to the county courts where your personal injury case will be decided. When you've been hurt in an accident near Forsyth Boulevard, along Highway 40/I-64, or anywhere in Clayton, you need a personal injury lawyer Clayton residents can count on.

Our Richmond Heights office is located just minutes from downtown Clayton via Brentwood Boulevard. We regularly practice in the St. Louis County Circuit Court at the Clayton courthouse, giving us invaluable insight into local procedures, judges, and how to position your case for maximum compensation.

Local Knowledge That Wins Cases

  • Highway 40/I-64 Corridor: We handle numerous cases involving crashes at Clayton's major exits and interchanges.
  • Forsyth Boulevard Accidents: From rear-end collisions in Clayton's downtown business district to pedestrian incidents near restaurants and shops.
  • St. Louis County Courthouse Experience: Because Clayton is home to the St. Louis County courts, we're in these courtrooms regularly.
  • MetroLink Station Area: The Clayton MetroLink station brings heavy pedestrian and vehicle traffic, creating dangerous conditions.

Personal Injury Cases We Handle in Clayton

Car & Motor Vehicle Accidents

Car accidents are the most common personal injury claims in Clayton. Whether you were struck by a distracted driver on Forsyth Boulevard, rear-ended near Shaw Park, or injured in a crash on I-64, we fight to recover full compensation for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

Truck & Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Commercial trucks traveling through Clayton on Highway 40/I-64 can cause catastrophic, life-altering injuries. These complex cases require specialized knowledge of federal trucking regulations and often result in substantially higher settlements due to commercial insurance policies and the severity of injuries involved.

Medical Malpractice

Clayton's proximity to Barnes-Jewish Hospital, Missouri Baptist Medical Center, and Washington University's medical campus means medical malpractice cases are common in this area. When healthcare providers fail to meet the standard of care—through surgical errors, misdiagnosis, medication mistakes, or birth injuries—the consequences can be devastating. We hold negligent providers accountable.

Nursing Home Abuse & Neglect

Clayton and the surrounding St. Louis County area has numerous nursing homes and assisted living facilities. When your loved one suffers from neglect, abuse, bedsores, falls, or medication errors in a care facility, we pursue justice and compensation against the responsible parties.

Premises Liability & Slip and Fall

Property owners in Clayton have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions. Whether you slipped on an icy sidewalk, fell in a parking garage, or were injured due to negligent property maintenance at a Clayton business or residence, we can help you recover damages.

Pedestrian & Bicycle Accidents

With Clayton's walkable downtown, busy MetroLink station, and popular Shaw Park, pedestrian and bicycle accidents are a serious concern. Injuries from these accidents are often severe, and we fight aggressively to ensure victims receive fair compensation.

Motorcycle Accidents

Motorcycle riders face heightened risks on Clayton's roads and often suffer serious injuries when other drivers fail to see them. We fight against the bias motorcyclists often encounter and advocate aggressively for riders injured by negligent drivers.

Dog Bites & Animal Attacks

Missouri law holds dog owners strictly liable when their animals injure others. If you or your child was bitten or attacked by a dog in Clayton, you may be entitled to compensation for medical treatment, scarring, and emotional trauma.

Wrongful Death

When a loved one is killed due to someone else's negligence—whether in a car crash, from medical malpractice, or any other preventable cause—we help grieving families pursue justice and the compensation they need to move forward.

What to Do After an Accident in Clayton

  1. Seek Medical Attention: Your health is the top priority. Clayton is served by Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Missouri Baptist Medical Center, both just minutes away.
  2. Document Everything: Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and any property damage. Get contact information from witnesses.
  3. Get a Police Report: Contact the Clayton Police Department to file an official report. This documentation is crucial for your case.
  4. Don't Talk to Insurance Companies: Before giving any recorded statements, speak with an attorney first. Insurance adjusters are trained to minimize your claim.
  5. Contact Wolff Trial Lawyers: Call us at (314) 651-8631 for a free consultation. We'll evaluate your case and explain your options.

Free Consultation — No Fee Unless We Win
