About Roach Law

From the moment you entrust us with your case until its final resolution, you can rest assured knowing that our team of experienced personal injury lawyers will be by your side, providing top-notch service and unwavering support.
Personal injury law gives injured individuals the right to hold at-fault parties financially accountable for the damages they cause. By filing a claim against them, a victim can seek compensation to make them “whole” again after their injury.
Most personal injury cases involve negligence. However, others can be based on intentional torts or strict liability. The type of case and specific facts will dictate the appropriate cause of action.
For example, if a party was unreasonably careless in causing a motor vehicle accident, the victim will have an injury claim based on negligence.
In that case, they will have to prove the following four elements:
A personal injury lawyer in St. Louis can help gather the necessary evidence to prove your case.

It costs nothing for our St. Louis lawyers to start representing you and building your case. We accept cases on a contingency fee basis. That means payment for our services is contingent upon us securing a favorable outcome for you.
If we win compensation through a settlement or verdict, we will take an agreed-upon portion, typically between 33% and 40%. You will not be responsible for paying legal fees if we don’t win.
We will explain this arrangement further during your free, no-obligation case evaluation.
Level the Playing Field
Your case will likely involve an insurance company. These corporations have vast resources and teams of professionals working to undervalue and deny claims. With an attorney by your side, you have your own legal team fighting for and protecting you.
Access to the Firm’s Resources
If your claim involves complex issues, like questions regarding liability or damages, you may require experts. Your lawyer will know who to call for assistance – such as reconstructionists, medical specialists, and financial advisors.

You need to be familiar with legal and procedural requirements, including how to collect evidence, file your claim, value your damages, and adhere to deadlines.

I had the absolute best experience with Kevin and his team. He took my case after I was dropped from another firm and got straight to work. Very professional and communicated constantly throughout the process. He gave me top-tier service and was friendly and flexible. I would highly recommend his service and will definitely use his firm again. They really made me feel like family was looking out for my best interest.
Great Service! I contacted them after my auto accident and I’m very happy I did. After a month-and-a-half a messing with the insurance company it was obvious I was not the insurances priority until I signed with Mr. Roach. Danielle, his paralegal, is a superstar! Very helpful, knowledgeable, and always responded in a timely manner. Thank you!
Kevin and Danielle exceeded my expectations. They show a personal interest in you and your case making a difficult and stressful process comforting. Danielle responded in a timely fashion whenever I had a million questions. Very knowledgeable, professional, and communicated details of the case well. 10/10 would recommend this firm to family and friends.
The Law Offices of Kevin Roach definitely deserve five stars. They were quick to respond to my call, and eager to answer my every question. I was fortunate to have Ms. Haddox handle my case. She was very polite and efficient. She even dedicated time outside of her regular work schedule to work with me to speed up my settlement process. She is truly exceptional. I would recommend The Law Offices of Kevin Roach to anyone involved in an automobile accident in the greater St. Louis area.
What Is My Personal Injury Claim Worth?
We cannot give a definite answer to this question without knowing more about what happened and how it has affected you. All injury cases are unique, and our lawyers evaluate multiple factors when valuing a client’s damages.
For example, we will examine the severity of your injuries and the medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses you’ve incurred. We also need to know the pain and suffering you have endured and any future damages you’ll sustain.
Don’t let an insurance company tell you what your case is worth. You will undoubtedly receive a lowball offer. Speak with a skilled St. Louis injury lawyer to get a fair assessment of your damages.
State law gives accident victims the right to pursue compensation for all economic and non-economic damages.
Economic damages include financial losses and costs arising from your injuries. Examples include medical expenses, lost income, and property damage. You may also have reduced earning potential and future medical bills to consider.
Non-economic damages are personal to you. They include physical harm, emotional distress, reduced quality of life, and other intangible losses.
Working with a lawyer is the best way to make sure that you identify all damages available to you.
Can I Still Recover Compensation If I’m Partially To Blame for a Missouri Accident?
Yes – as long as you aren’t 100% at fault for the incident. Missouri is a pure comparative negligence state, which is the most favorable to personal injury claimants. Under the law, you can recover compensation if you share responsibility for an accident. However, it will be reduced by your level of blame.
For example, say that a court deems you 45% responsible for a boat accident. The defendant would be liable for 55% of your damages to account for your own negligence.
Be very careful if an opposing party or insurance adjuster tries to blame you. This is a common tactic used to lowball individuals and pay them less than they deserve. Contact an attorney immediately to protect yourself and ensure you walk away with a fair financial recovery.
How Long Will My Personal Injury Case Take?
The timeline of your case will depend on various factors unique to you. Some are resolved within a matter of weeks, whereas others can take longer than a year. A big factor is whether you settle or go to trial.
Most injury claims (around 95%) conclude with a settlement agreement between the parties. If each side cooperates and engages in meaningful negotiations, the matter can be resolved relatively quickly.
However, any roadblock can arise to set you back. It can take time to value damages, especially if you’re seriously injured. Liability may be contested. And, if the case goes to trial, that will lengthen the timeframe.
With our attorneys, you will never be in the dark as to the progress of your claim. We’ll keep you updated and informed, ensuring you know where you’re at in the process.
