Your job is healing. Ours is the insurer, the records, and the deadline math.
ClearScope Counsel LLC represents injured people and families across Missouri in auto and motor vehicle accident claims, premises liability, dog bites, slip-and-fall injuries, and wrongful death claims. Contingency fee. You pay nothing unless we recover on your behalf.
Please do not send medical records or other sensitive documents until we have completed a conflicts check. A preliminary inquiry does not create an attorney-client relationship.
When someone else’s carelessness rearranges your life.
The disruption reaches beyond medical bills: missed work, ongoing treatment, and a family left managing the fallout. We build a clear record, assess the available claims, and pursue a strategy tailored to the injury and your goals. Every matter begins with a candid fit assessment, not a promise about results.
Auto & motor vehicle accidents
Crashes caused by another motorist’s carelessness, like rear-end impacts, drifting out of a lane, or side-impact T-bone wrecks, often lead to coverage disputes afterward, especially when the responsible driver has inadequate insurance or no policy at all.
- Car accidents
- Truck & commercial vehicle
- Motorcycle
- Pedestrian & bicycle
- Rideshare passengers
- Uninsured & underinsured motorist claims
- Hit-and-run
Premises liability & slip-and-fall
Injuries caused by unsafe property conditions a business or property owner knew about, or should have found and fixed.
- Slip-and-fall
- Trip-and-fall
- Wet or unmarked floors
- Poorly maintained stairs & walkways
- Inadequate lighting
- Retail & commercial property injuries
Wrongful death
Fatal outcomes arising from an auto collision, an unsafe property, or other negligence, pursued under Missouri’s wrongful death statute on behalf of the surviving family.
- Fatal auto & truck collisions
- Fatal premises incidents
- Claims for surviving spouse, children & parents
- Funeral, medical & lost-support damages
Whether a particular matter is a fit depends on the facts, the deadlines, and a conflicts check. If it isn’t one we should handle, we will say so and point you toward counsel who should.
The work that happens while you recover.
A contingency fee isn’t only for the hearing. It covers the months of handling that sit between the collision and the cheque.
We take over the correspondence
The adjuster calls us, not you. No recorded statements, no early lowball offer signed under pressure, no medical authorization handed over before anyone reads it.
We assemble the record
Incident and police reports, photographs, witness accounts, medical records and bills, and the treatment timeline that shows what the injury actually cost you.
We find every layer of coverage
Liability, underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage, medical payments coverage, and any commercial policy standing behind a business or vehicle.
We handle liens and the payout
Health insurers, Medicare and Medicaid, and medical providers often claim a slice of a recovery. Those claims get negotiated before anything is distributed to you.
Scope is confirmed in a written contingency fee agreement. Court, government, and third-party costs are separate from the attorney fee and are set out before representation begins.
Signs it’s worth a case review.
You may benefit from a case review if you are seeing any of the following.
- An insurance adjuster is pushing for a fast settlement or a recorded statement
- You are still receiving medical treatment and don’t know what your claim is worth
- The other side disputes fault, or fault seems shared
- Your injuries are keeping you out of work or affecting your ability to work
- A property owner or business denies responsibility for an unsafe condition
- You lost a family member and aren’t sure what options survivors have
- You’re not sure what records to keep or what the process even looks like
These signs do not establish a claim by themselves. They are reasons to preserve records and obtain an informed legal assessment.
Built on records, not adjuster goodwill.
Depending on the matter, a focused case plan may include:
- Preserving the scene, photos, witness information, and any available incident reports
- Gathering medical records and documenting the course of treatment
- Evaluating liability, applicable insurance coverage, and comparative fault
- Assessing damages, including medical costs, lost income, and the nature of the injury
- Determining early whether an accident-reconstruction, medical, or damages expert would materially strengthen the claim
- Drafting and sending a demand, then negotiating with the insurer or opposing counsel
- Preparing for litigation and trial if a fair resolution isn’t reached through negotiation
Clear steps. No manufactured urgency.
You do not need every document or medical record figured out before reaching out.
Preliminary intake & conflicts screening
We discuss what happened, your treatment so far, and what you want to accomplish. We screen for conflicts before requesting sensitive records.
Investigation & records
Once conflicts are cleared, we gather the incident report, medical records, and other evidence, and assess liability and applicable coverage.
Strategy & engagement
If the matter is a fit, you receive a written engagement proposal explaining the contingency fee, expenses, and next steps before representation begins.
Demand, negotiation & litigation if needed
We send a demand and negotiate with the insurer or opposing counsel, and prepare for litigation if a fair resolution isn’t reached.
If we don’t recover, there is no fee.
Personal injury matters are handled on a flat 33% contingency fee.
33% contingency
A flat one-third of any recovery. No tiered increases, no hidden math.
Nothing upfront
No upfront attorney fees or costs. You pay nothing unless we recover on your behalf.
In writing, before we start
The percentage and how expenses are handled are confirmed in a written contingency fee agreement before representation begins.
No recovery is guaranteed. A free intake discussion does not create an attorney-client relationship.
Missouri litigation discipline, applied to your claim.
This is a young practice for personal injury specifically, built on real Missouri litigation experience rather than manufactured case counts.
Bring what you know.
You don’t need a police report number or a full medical history memorized. We’ll help you figure out what matters next, and what records to start gathering.
Questions people ask first.
There is no generic answer. Value depends on liability, the nature and extent of the injury, medical treatment and cost, lost income, and the facts of the case. A case review looks at the specifics rather than a formula.
Deadlines can be complicated and fact-specific, and they can differ for injury claims, wrongful death claims, and claims against government entities. Do not wait to get a timely assessment simply because you are still gathering records.
Be cautious before giving a recorded statement or signing anything, including a medical authorization or a settlement release. Insurers are not obligated to protect your interests. Speak with an attorney before agreeing to anything in writing.
