Practice Areas Description

- Car Accident

If you have been in a car accident and have suffered injuries, you may be entitled to financial compensation. The amount of your award, and the determination and degree of liability of the party who injured you, is often contingent on the skills and experience of the representing attorney. If you have been injured, you need an experienced, knowledgeable, and aggressive attorney to build your case and fight for your legal rights.

- Motorcycle Accident

Unfortunately, many motorists fail to notice motorcycles operating near them on streets and highways. As a result, many accidents result from the negligence and carelessness of motorists. The accidents usually leave the motorcyclist seriously injured, often much more severely injured than the driver of the other vehicle. We aggressively represent the rights of those injured in a motorcycle accident in Springfield or in another area of Southwest Missouri.

- ATV Accidents

Some ATV accidents occur due to improper driver training. Others occur because of a product defect in the ATV or an unsafe design. ATV dealers and manufacturers continue to sell bigger, faster, more powerful ATVs, that are more difficult to control and more prone to accidents. Our firm handles all ATV accident situations and we have the experience to take on large manufacturers if poorly designed or defective equipment is determined to be the root cause of the accident.

- Truck Accident

There are numerous major highways and roadways that crisscross Southwest Missouri. These roadways see many vehicles and large trucks involved in accidents on a regular basis. Motorists sharing the road with tractor trailers and semi trucks are injured due to the severe nature of these crashes. At the Law Offices of Dan Moody and Paul Wacker, L.L.C., we represent the interests of injured individuals in a variety of personal injury situations, including truck accidents. Our firm works to identify the negligent party and obtain compensation for your injuries.

- Slip and Fall

Accidents that happen in the course of daily events often raise the most questions. Whose fault is it when someone trips on a fractured sidewalk? Does dim lighting constitute a dangerous environment? Does a wooden pallet lying in a store aisle create a hazardous situation? An experienced and knowledgeable attorney at the Law Offices of Dan Moody and Paul Wacker, L.L.C. can answer these questions.

- Child Injury

Children don't stop to examine a playground for hazards. If the monkey bars and slides are open for business, there is a reasonable expectation that the equipment is safe to use. If your child suffered serious playground injuries, an experienced attorney at the Law Offices of Dan Moody and Paul Wacker, L.L.C., can determine if you have grounds to sue for the medical expenses and harm. We will pursue your legal remedies against any liable party — a school, municipal entity, business or neighbor, or the manufacturer of faulty play equipment.

- School Accidents and Injuries

Students do not abandon their civil rights at the steps to the school. This includes the right to sue for injuries suffered at school through negligence or intentional acts. However, school districts and their staff and administrators have certain immunities from lawsuits. You need an attorney who understands the law and who is prepared to go to court if necessary in pursuit of damages for the losses and harms. If your son or daughter suffered serious injury on school grounds or at a school-related function, the personal injury lawyers of the Law Offices of Dan Moody and Paul Wacker, L.L.C., can evaluate your potential claims for compensation.

- Swimming Pool Accident

A day in the sun or a cool splash in the pool can end in tragedy when a pool or swimming area is unsupervised or holds hidden dangers. There are important questions to be answered whenever a person drowns or a swimmer is injured. At the Law Offices of Dan Moody and Paul Wacker, L.L.C., we are well equipped to investigate swimmer accidents and hold the negligent parties accountable.

- Boating Accident

From high-powered speedboats and Jet Skis to fishing boats and pontoons, boating is a part of life in southwest Missouri. There is little room for error with so many locals and tourists alike competing for a share of popular waterways.

- Electrocution

Electrocution is a terrible way to die. Those people who survive electrical accidents commonly suffer a wide range of disabling injuries, from burns and nerve damage to heart problems or mental impairment. At the Law Offices of Dan Moody and Paul Wacker, L.L.C., we are attuned to the severe injuries and painful recovery for victims of electrical injury, and the grief when a family member's life is cut short by negligence. We work diligently to hold property owners, utility companies, manufacturers and others accountable for these preventable tragedies.

- Brain Injury

Recovering from a serious injury can be a long and painful process, but at least there is that light at the end of the tunnel. For a permanent or life-changing injury, "recovery" may be measured in increments, if at all. The physical, financial and emotional impact can be profound and lifelong.

- Wrongful Death

Few events in life are as shattering as the loss of a loved one through accidental death circumstances. The loss of a loved one by wrongful death can forever alter the course of the lives of those they have left behind. When a loved one is lost through wrongful death circumstances or a preventable accident, a legal suit for damages, while devised to provide comfort and compensation, can look like one more problem to manage at a difficult time. At the Law Offices of Dan Moody and Paul Wacker, L.L.C. , we work to achieve the maximum compensation for your loss, while respecting the emotions you are experiencing and lessening the burden on you imposed by the legal process.

- Nursing Home Negligence

If your elderly parent has unexplained injuries, took a sudden turn for the worse or died unexpectedly in a nursing home, it is natural to have questions and suspicions. Was your loved deprived of medical attention or basic needs? Did he or she suffer needlessly? Where was the "care" in long-term care? The Law Offices of Dan Moody and Paul Wacker, L.L.C., handles claims against nursing homes for injuries or death resulting from negligence, neglect or substandard medical care. We hold elder care facilities accountable for fair damages for the medical intervention and the physical and emotional harm.

- Medical Malpractice

It is not always malpractice when a trip to the doctor, the hospital or the emergency room ends badly. The question is whether the medical professionals followed procedure and followed up appropriately at the signs of trouble. If you suspect medical negligence is responsible for a lasting injury, delayed treatment of a serious condition or a loved one's death, the Law Offices of Dan Moody and Paul Wacker, L.L.C. can review the circumstances to determine if you have grounds to sue. If we cannot confidently take your case, we will connect you to a specialist who can.

- Products Liability

A manufacturer has a duty to the end user. When a product is inherently dangerous or poses a foreseeable safety risk, the manufacturer can be held liable for injury or death. However, such cases can be difficult and expensive to prove. Springfield attorneys Dan Moody and Paul Wacker have extensive experience with product liability. They can evaluate your potential defective product lawsuit and connect you to a lawyer who specializes in that particularly area of product litigation.
