Practice Areas Description

Our practice areas include:

- Truck Accidents

The depth of experience you will find at Gray, Ritter & Graham in St. Louis can make an extraordinary difference in a truck accident case. Our personal injury lawyers take action as soon as our help is requested. We assure that the truck's EDR (event data recorder) or CDR (crash data recorder) is secured. Our investigators go to the scene to document the truck accident. When a collision involves high speeds and huge vehicles with heavy loads, the consequences can be devastating. It is essential to know the facts as quickly as possible and to determine liability.

- Motorcycle Accidents

At Gray, Ritter & Graham in St. Louis, our personal injury attorneys know the dangers you face while riding a motorcycle and how important it is to establish how and why an accident happened.

. Failure to see or yield to a motorcyclist are common causes of motorcycle accidents. Car and truck drivers are focused on where they are going, and they tend to notice other cars and trucks — not motorcycles, bicycles and pedestrians.
. Motorcycle accident injuries are frequently serious, even life-changing or fatal. Multiple fractures are common. The biker can suffer a serious head injury, even when wearing a helmet. Resulting road rash, spinal cord injuries and other serious injuries require extensive medical care.
. Accident reconstruction and witness interviews can help determine exactly what happened in a motorcycle accident.

- Pedestrian/Bicycle Accidents

When serious injuries are caused by someone else's negligence, the injured person has the right to pursue compensation. At Gray, Ritter & Graham in St. Louis, our personal injury attorneys represent the rights of pedestrians and bicycle riders who have been injured in traffic accidents.

. Car drivers have the duty to yield the right of way to pedestrians in marked intersections. When they do not, the weight of a car hitting an unprotected person can cause life-changing injuries or wrongful death.
. Crosswalk pedestrian accidents often happen because the driver is focused on making a turn rather than looking for pedestrians.
. Sadly, some drivers do not recognize the right of a bicycle or pedestrian to be on the road. An automobile driver's failure to yield can result in serious injuries.
. Our law firm will send an investigator to the scene to document the evidence, talk to witnesses, and reconstruct the accident to determine what happened and why.

- Other Commercial Vehicle Accidents

Your personal injury claim may be complicated when you have been injured in a commercial vehicle accident. There may be multiple liable parties and, therefore, multiple insurance companies involved. An experienced GRG personal injury attorney can handle your case so that you receive the compensation you need and deserve. We represent clients in: Construction vehicle accidents, Delivery truck accidents, and, Bus accidents.

- Railroad Crossing Accidents

At Gray, Ritter & Graham in St. Louis, our lawyers obtain compensation for people who have been injured in railroad crossing accidents. Crossing accidents can result from numerous potential causes.

. Defective crossing signals — including no gates or lights and excessive foliage — can make an oncoming train hard to see. It is important to document the accident scene before it is cleaned up by the railroad company.
. In rural areas, a train's failure to sound its horn can cause an accident, especially when there is no gate. Many railroad crossings have only lights or crossbucks. Sight lines may make the crossing or the train difficult to see. In some cases, private crossings are maintained by property owners rather than the railroad.
. If a loved one was injured or killed by a train, talk to an experienced GRG lawyer to make sure the evidence is preserved so that the crossing accident can be carefully investigated.

- Light Rail Accidents

The personal injury attorneys at Gray, Ritter & Graham in St. Louis protect the rights of people injured in light rail accidents, railroad crossing accidents, and bus accidents. Our law firm is here to help if you or a family member has been injured.

. Whether you were injured as a passenger, as a pedestrian hit by a light rail train or bus, or as someone in a car hit at a train crossing, talk to a GRG lawyer as soon as possible.
. People who are assaulted in commuter trains or train stations may have a claim for inadequate and negligent security. The light rail company is responsible for maintaining a safe and secure environment for passengers.
. Accident investigations can be complex. We go to the accident site and examine all factors that could have contributed to the accident — negligent security, operator negligence, negligent maintenance, and unsafe policies.
