Why So Many Injured Missourians Turn to Sansone & Lauber

If you were hurt in a car crash anywhere in Missouri, one question probably keeps coming up:
“Who is the best car accident lawyer in Missouri?”

It’s an important question — because the lawyer you choose could change the outcome of your entire case.

At Sansone & Lauber, we’ve spent decades representing crash victims across Missouri — from St. Louis and St. Charles to Columbia and Kansas City. We’ve recovered millions of dollars for our clients, earned record-breaking verdicts, and built a reputation for aggressive, results-driven representation.

We don’t call ourselves the best. Our clients do.

In this guide, you’ll learn:

What makes a lawyer truly “the best” in Missouri
Why experience and results matter so much
How Sansone & Lauber stands apart from other firms
And what to do right now if you’ve been hurt in a crash

What “Best” Really Means for a Car Accident Lawyer

Let’s be honest — every lawyer in Missouri claims to be “the best.” But saying it and proving it are two different things.

Being the best car accident lawyer isn’t about fancy ads or big promises. It’s about results, reputation, and relentless effort.

Here’s what that means in plain English:

Results.
The best lawyers don’t talk about winning — they actually do it. They have verdicts and settlements that prove their success.
Experience that matters.
They’ve handled hundreds (if not thousands) of car accident cases just like yours — from minor crashes to catastrophic injuries.
Honest communication.
You should never feel ignored or left in the dark. The best lawyers keep you informed and fight for your best interest every step of the way.
Strength in negotiation and trial.
Insurance companies know which lawyers are afraid to go to court. The best ones — like Sansone & Lauber — are ready to fight to the end.
Compassion and care.
You’re not just a case number. You’re a person whose life was turned upside down — and you deserve a lawyer who treats you that way.

That’s what we believe “best” truly means — and that’s how Sansone & Lauber fights for every client, every single day.

Why You Need a Strong Missouri Car Accident Lawyer

After a crash, you’re suddenly dealing with things you never expected: doctor visits, car repairs, insurance paperwork, lost income, and constant pain. It’s stressful and overwhelming.

Insurance companies will act nice at first. But their goal is simple — pay you as little as possible.

That’s where having a strong, experienced lawyer changes everything.

When you hire Sansone & Lauber, you get:

Immediate protection from insurance adjusters
Help finding the right doctors and specialists
A full investigation into your crash
Expert witnesses who can prove fault and damages
A legal team that fights for maximum compensation

We take care of everything while you focus on healing. You don’t pay us a dime unless we win your case.

Why Sansone & Lauber Is Considered Among the Best in Missouri

1. Proven Track Record of Big Wins

Our firm has earned national attention for landmark verdicts and major settlements.

Some of our notable results include:

$14.2 Million Verdict — for a motorcyclist struck by a negligent driver.
$3 Million Settlement — in a commercial vehicle collision case.
$1.1 Million Settlement — for a client with serious back injuries after a rear-end crash.

Each of these cases represents a life changed — and a powerful message to insurance companies: We don’t back down.

2. Decades of Missouri Experience

We know Missouri — and we know how to win here.

From downtown St. Louis to the outskirts of Springfield, our team has handled cases in state and federal courts across the region. We understand local judges, juries, and the tactics used by insurance defense attorneys.

We also know Missouri law inside and out — including the recent changes to comparative fault, pain and suffering limits, and insurance claim procedures.

That experience gives our clients an edge that out-of-state or inexperienced lawyers can’t match.

3. We Don’t Settle for Less Than You Deserve

Many law firms take the first settlement offer and move on. Not us.

We prepare every case like it’s going to trial. That’s why insurance companies often offer our clients more money — they know we’re not bluffing.

If they don’t play fair, we take them to court and let a Missouri jury decide.

4. You Don’t Pay Unless We Win

We work on a contingency fee basis, which means:

You pay nothing upfront
We cover all case costs
We only get paid when we win your case

That’s how confident we are in our ability to deliver results.

5. Personalized, Hands-On Representation

At Sansone & Lauber, you’ll never feel like just another file in a cabinet.

We meet with you personally, listen to your story, and explain every part of the process in clear, simple language. We keep you updated — and we’re always a phone call or email away.

You deserve a lawyer who fights hard and actually cares. That’s exactly who we are.

What to Look for When Choosing the Best Car Accident Lawyer in Missouri

Here’s a quick checklist to help you spot the right attorney for your case:

Experience with car accident cases — not just general personal injury work
A history of large verdicts and settlements
Trial experience and courtroom success
Clear communication and real availability
Strong client reviews and testimonials
No upfront costs or hidden fees
A genuine commitment to your recovery

If a lawyer can’t check all those boxes — keep looking.

At Sansone & Lauber, we check them all.
