Practice Areas

Practice Areas Description

Lake Law Firm, LLC is located in Jefferson City, Missouri and handles personal injury cases all across Missouri:

- Personal Injury

Personal injury lawsuits are filed by people (or their representatives) injured due to the negligence of someone else. The injury may be either physical or emotional, and it can arise from a variety of sources or types of conduct. Some of the most common types of personal injuries that give rise to legal liability on the part of the wrongdoer include slip and fall, automobile accidents, assaults and battery, medical malpractice, and defective product injuries. The general goal of personal injury actions is to determine who was responsible and to compel them to compensate the injured person for the losses sustained.

- Auto Accidents

13,000 people have been injured or killed since 1990 in crashes caused by aggressive driving. If you have been a victim of aggressive driving, click here to tell us about your case. At the Lake Law Firm, LLC, we assist clients in personal injury cases involving car crashes, truck accidents, and other types of motor vehicle accidents. If you have been injured in an auto accident, you need an accident attorney who understands the law and can get you the compensation you deserve. If you have lost a loved one in a motor vehicle accident, you may have a case for wrongful death.

- Trucking Accidents

Personal injury attorney John Lake, of the Lake Law Firm, LLC, helps people obtain financial recovery after they have suffered injuries in motor vehicle crashes and trucking accidents. At the Lake Law Firm, we work hard to ensure our clients achieve the best financial outcome possible for their personal injury claim. We understand the difficulties you are facing and we handle every aspect of your case, so you can focus on your physical recovery.

- Medical Malpractice

Every day we trust medical professionals with our health and our lives. Most of the time, we can have confidence that our doctors and nurses are taking every proper action in our care. Sometimes, however, inattention or negligence cause serious injury, or even death. At the Lake Law Firm, LLC, medical malpractice attorney John Lake helps injured people and grieving families prove medical negligence.

- Insurance Law

You pay for your insurance, but sometimes when you need it, it seems as though your insurance company is doing everything it can to avoid paying you the money you deserve. Or perhaps you were involved in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist. You have uninsured motorist coverage, and you may even have underinsured motorist coverage – but what do you do if you get involved in a dispute with your insurance company over being paid from that coverage? At Lake Law Firm, LLC, we have had to go to bat for our clients against their insurance companies on many occasions.

- Workers' Compensation

Workers' compensation insurance exists to make sure that employees have their expenses covered for injuries suffered while they are on the job. These expenses can include lost wages, uncovered medical expenses, and disability. Workplace injuries are common in some industries, such as construction and farming, but any job can cause an injury. And every job-related injury, whether catastrophic or chronic, should be compensated.

- Product Liability

When you use a particular product, you assume that the manufacturer has engineered it to perform a particular task safely and effectively. You also assume that the actual construction of the product was done carefully so that it will perform as it was meant to. Some products, though, are unreasonably defective, either in their engineering or their manufacture, and cause serious injury even when being used correctly for the purpose for which they were made.

- Wrongful Death

Any type of accident can cause the worst result -- the loss of a loved one. Shock and grief seem overwhelming, and if you were involved in the accident as well and have your own injuries to deal with, it all really can seem like too much to bear. You need to work with an attorney who has experience with wrongful death cases to help you with all the legal aspects of your situation. At the same time, you just really want someone to listen and to understand how you are feeling.

- Injuries to Children

We all tend to remember our childhoods as carefree, fun years. But for many children, childhood is full of dangers. From the defective engineering of a toy or piece of playground equipment, to dog bites, to injuries received by child seat failure in a car crash, to athletic injuries, to failure to supervise on a playground and plain old falls, it sometimes seems miraculous that children ever make it to adulthood.

- Premises Liability

Premises liability cases are sometimes wrongly thought of as “slip and fall” cases. While they certainly can encompass a slip and fall situation, there are so many other possible accidents and injuries that are caused by premises liability. Any time a building is unsafe, particularly when the owner or landlord has been informed of its lack of safeness and has chosen to do nothing about it, liability is a real concern. And sometimes innocent people are hurt on those premises – a poorly maintained railing gives way, an apartment building in a high crime area fails to provide adequate security, or a spill on the floor at a grocery store is not mopped up in a timely manner.

- Construction Accidents

Construction can be a very dangerous field to work in. At the very least, you deal daily with heavy machinery and large loads of building materials. Working outdoors can mean variable weather conditions, which can also lead to disaster. And in many construction accidents, improperly maintained equipment or human error just adds to the dilemma. At Lake Law Firm, LLC, we have a great deal of experience in dealing with all sorts of construction site accidents, from cranes falling over to part of the structure being built collapsing. We investigate our cases, picking out the weak areas of our case so that we can begin building a defense that explains those weak areas.

- Dog Bites

Dog bites are more common than most people think. And they can be very severe as well – depending on the dog, a bite can be disfiguring or even cause the loss of a limb. Nobody is safe from a dog bite – even if you don’t own a dog, someone out in public does and you will eventually come across that person and his or her dog. Some animal attacks are due to a poorly socialized dog or a dog who feels threatened and a person who doesn’t recognize that in time. But others, such as cases involving mauling or pit bull attacks, have nothing to do with what you did.

- Consumer Fraud

Every day hard working people in mid Missouri find that they have been the victim of bad businesses practices and have lost money due to fraud. Missouri has enacted the Missouri Merchandising Practices Act (MPA) that makes it illegal to use deception, fraud, false pretenses, false promises, concealment, or omission of facts in the sale or advertisement of a product. Consumer fraud attorney John Lake brings cases to court against companies and individual doing business with consumers; insurance companies, manufacturers, car dealers, phone companies, utilities, banks and credit card companies.
