OnderLaw Personal Injury Practice Areas

For over 35 years, OnderLaw has fought for justice across Missouri and Illinois—recovering more than $5 billion for clients harmed by negligence, corporate misconduct, and preventable tragedies. We don’t just take cases. We take on causes that protect families and demand systemic change.

Abuse Assault

When institutions fail to protect the vulnerable, OnderLaw holds them accountable. We represent survivors of sexual abuse, physical assault, and institutional negligence in schools, churches, nursing homes, and other settings. Our attorneys pursue justice with compassion and discretion, fighting to ensure abusers and the organizations that enabled them face consequences. You deserve advocates who believe you and will fight relentlessly on your behalf.

 

Catastrophic Injuries

Catastrophic injuries transform lives in an instant, leaving victims and families facing overwhelming medical needs and uncertain futures. OnderLaw has secured landmark recoveries for clients suffering traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, severe burns, and amputations. We build comprehensive cases that account for lifetime care costs, lost earning capacity, and the profound personal losses you’ve endured. Our team fights to ensure you have the resources needed to rebuild your life.

Civil Rights

When government actors or institutions violate your constitutional rights, OnderLaw stands ready to fight back. We handle cases involving police misconduct, unlawful detention, discrimination, and First Amendment violations throughout Missouri and Illinois. Our civil rights attorneys understand that these cases are about more than compensation—they’re about accountability and preventing future abuses. We pursue justice for individuals while pushing for the systemic reforms our communities deserve.

Environmental Disasters

Environmental contamination devastates communities, causing cancers, respiratory diseases, and generational health consequences that corporations try to ignore. OnderLaw has taken on major polluters responsible for toxic exposures, contaminated water supplies, and hazardous waste disasters across the region. We fight for families whose health and property values have been destroyed by corporate negligence and regulatory failures. Our environmental litigation seeks both compensation for victims and meaningful cleanup of affected areas.

Insurance Claims

Insurance companies collect premiums for years, then deploy teams of adjusters and lawyers to minimize or deny your claim when disaster strikes. OnderLaw represents policyholders facing bad faith denials, unreasonable delays, and lowball settlement offers from insurers. We understand the tactics insurance companies use and know how to counter them effectively in negotiations and at trial. When your insurer refuses to honor its promises, we make them pay what they rightfully owe.

 

Mass Torts & Class Actions

When dangerous products or corporate misconduct harm thousands of people, OnderLaw has the resources and experience to lead the fight for justice. We have served in leadership roles in major mass tort litigation involving defective drugs, medical devices, and consumer products that caused widespread injury. Our attorneys combine national litigation experience with personalized attention to each client’s unique circumstances and damages. We take on the largest corporations in America and hold them accountable for putting profits over people.

Medical Negligence

Healthcare providers take an oath to do no harm, yet medical errors remain a leading cause of death and injury in America. OnderLaw represents patients harmed by surgical mistakes, misdiagnoses, medication errors, birth injuries, and hospital negligence throughout Missouri and Illinois. We work with leading medical experts to prove exactly how your care fell below accepted standards and caused your injuries. Our medical malpractice team fights to secure compensation for your suffering while pushing for safer healthcare practices.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Car accidents, truck collisions, and motorcycle crashes cause devastating injuries that can derail your life, career, and financial security in seconds. OnderLaw’s motor vehicle accident attorneys have decades of experience investigating crashes, identifying all liable parties, and maximizing recovery for injured victims. We handle complex cases involving commercial trucks, rideshare vehicles, drunk drivers, and defective auto components. From your first call through trial, we fight to ensure negligent drivers and corporations pay for the harm they’ve caused.

 

Personal Injury

When someone else’s negligence turns your life upside down, you need attorneys who will fight as hard for your recovery as you’re fighting to heal. OnderLaw’s personal injury practice spans the full spectrum of accident and injury cases throughout Missouri and Southern Illinois. We handle everything from slip-and-fall accidents to complex multi-party litigation with the same commitment to excellence and client care. Our contingency fee structure means you pay nothing unless we win—because access to justice shouldn’t depend on your bank account.

Premises Liability

Property owners have a legal duty to maintain safe conditions for visitors, tenants, and customers on their premises. OnderLaw represents victims injured by slip-and-fall hazards, inadequate security, swimming pool accidents, elevator malfunctions, and other dangerous property conditions. We investigate thoroughly to document the hazards property owners knew about—or should have known about—and failed to correct. Our premises liability attorneys fight to ensure negligent property owners pay for the injuries their carelessness caused.

Product Liability

Corporations rush defective products to market, prioritizing profits over consumer safety and hoping no one connects the dots when people get hurt. OnderLaw has built a national reputation for holding manufacturers accountable for dangerous drugs, defective medical devices, faulty auto parts, and hazardous consumer products. We have the resources to take on billion-dollar corporations and the expertise to prove design defects, manufacturing flaws, and failure-to-warn claims. When products cause harm, we fight to remove them from the market and compensate every victim.

Workplace Accidents

Workplace injuries can leave you facing mounting medical bills, lost wages, and an uncertain future while workers’ compensation falls far short of covering your losses. OnderLaw pursues third-party claims against equipment manufacturers, negligent contractors, and property owners whose actions contributed to your workplace injury. We handle construction accidents, industrial injuries, toxic exposures, and other serious workplace incidents throughout Missouri and Illinois. Our attorneys fight to maximize your recovery by identifying every party responsible for your harm.

 

Wrongful Death

Losing a loved one to someone else’s negligence is devastating, and no amount of money can undo that loss or fill the void left behind. OnderLaw’s wrongful death attorneys provide compassionate, skilled representation to families seeking accountability and justice after preventable tragedies. We handle the legal burden so you can focus on grieving and supporting your family during the most difficult time of your lives. Our team fights to hold negligent parties accountable while securing compensation for funeral expenses, lost income, and the profound loss of your loved one’s companionship.
