Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

Cantor & Burger offers legal services on the following areas:

- Auto/Truck/Motorcycle Accidents

Auto accidents, truck crashes and motorcycle incidents are one of our specialties. If injured by a car/truck/motorcycle, you have a legal claim action against the driver and/or his insurance company to recover all the damages you sustained. Your damages include medical expenses, wage loss damages, pain and suffering, and disability/disfigurement damages. If the other driver does not have enough insurance, you may have an uninsured or under insured motorist claim.

- Workers Compensation

Workers’ compensation laws in Missouri and Illinois guarantee recovery to workers with on-the-job injuries, but limit the money a worker can obtain. Mark Cantor heads our workers’ compensation practice group, regularly teaches other lawyers how to practice workers’ compensation and spearheads our successful efforts to maximize recovery for our clients. We regularly pursue, settle and try workers’ compensation claims from small injuries with little medical care, to significant injuries, with permanent total disability benefits and extensive medical.

- Wrongful Death

A wrongful death claim is created by state law. In Missouri, there is a three-year time limit on the filing of a wrongful death lawsuit. There are constraints on who may file the claim and limits on the types of damages one can recover. We have won wrongful death claims arising from vehicle accidents, dangerous products, and medical negligence. Wrongful death just describes the type of claim and identifies the liable party. How to prove liability and how to win the case is our expertise.

- Medical Malpractice

Sometimes how a doctor, nurse or hospital injured or killed someone are so egregious that they make the front page of the newspaper or are featured on national news shows. We specialize in medical malpractice claims, lawsuits and trials. To win, a plaintiff must prove that medical negligence caused injury, damages or death. Medical negligence only occurs in situations where the medical care provided to the patient fell below the average standard of medical care that should be afforded to the plaintiff in the community where she lives.

- Nursing Home Injuries

We have helped many older folks navigate the challenging area of nursing home claims in both protecting their rights and personal integrity; and getting a good resolution or verdict in their case. At Cantor & Burger, we realize that resolving these claims quickly for our elderly clients is sometimes more important than dragging a case out until we go to trial. We are cognizant of this fact and try to get the most efficient resolution of these claims as possible. But if warranted, we try these cases before juries.

- Birth Injuries

Birth injury claims are to recover for birth injuries sustained by an innocent child. Parents are forced to pursue a medical malpractice claims with its associated limitations. Most of the typical birth injury claims people encounter are for Cerebral Palsy (injuries resulting from a lack of oxygen to the in utero child prior to birth (and usually immediately prior to birth)) and Brachial Plexus or Erbs Palsy injuries.

- Dangerous Products

Claims for injuries and death due to a dangerous product are made under a state’s common law. Missouri, Illinois and most states have basic law that if one of their citizens is injured by a product that is unreasonably dangerous for its foreseeable or reasonably anticipated use, the distributor and/or manufacturer of the product is liable for injuries resulting therefrom.

- Employment Discrimination

Since almost right out of law school, Gary has represented plaintiffs against big businesses and corporations for employment discrimination. He has represented individuals in State and Federal Court in Missouri and Illinois for age, sex, race, and sexual harassment discrimination, and has tried and had numerous successes in these areas. Missouri and Illinois are employment-at-will states. This means an employer can fire you for a good reason, a bad reason, or no reason at all.

- Class Action

Our firm has successfully pursued class actions in consumer fraud, medical drugs or devices, products liability and employment discrimination areas. We are well versed in this law and know how to effectively use it to affect positive change on Corporate America. If you have a potential class action claim in any type of area, we would like to hear about it and assist you in your claim.

- Insurance Claims

Over the years as insurance companies continue to improperly deny coverage, treat their insureds unfairly, and try to pay as little as possible on valid insurance claims, we have had more and more clients needing help against these big bureaucracy. We sue insurance companies. This usually occurs when insurance companies deny coverage and/or fail to pay enough to settle insurance claims.
