"Doing Nothing Changes Nothing"

Buried in Debt or Recovering from an Injury and Don't Know Where to Turn? Our St. Louis Attorneys Can Help

When you are a hard-working, honest individual, it can be devastating when one unfortunate event results in a snowball effect of bad luck. A car accident caused by a negligent driver is bad enough, but then you have the unbearable pain of your injuries, the seemingly endless medical bills, a totaled car, and the inability to work anymore. Or perhaps your spouse lost his job, and though you fight to keep your head above water financially, your car has been repossessed, the debt collectors won't stop harassing you, and the threat of foreclosure is looming over your beautiful home.

It seems so unfair when things like this happen to good people, doesn't it?

At Castle Law Office of St. Louis, P.C., our Missouri personal injury and bankruptcy attorneys have your best interests in mind. It's our goal to stop that snowball effect and get you back on your feet again, ready for a bright future. Whether you need help filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, or you want to seek damages from a motorcycle crash, we're here to help you get your life back.

Bankruptcy Can Give You a Chance at a Fresh Start

Some people feel that filing for bankruptcy means that they have failed, but now, especially after enduring the recession, it's becoming more acceptable and an excellent option for some individuals. Even if you don't think you need to file for bankruptcy, we can also help you with other issues that may arise from accumulated debt.

  • Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows you to discharge debts, bills, and financial obligations. You are usually able to keep most of your possessions, depending on state exemptions. This is often a good option for someone who does not have a steady source of income.
  • Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy creates a payment plan that allows you to pay back a certain portion of your debt over time, usually three to five years. This is a good option for someone who has a reliable source of income and doesn't qualify for Chapter 7.
  • Foreclosure. Missouri foreclosure proceedings can begin after your mortgage payment is 90 days late, but there are several strategies for avoiding foreclosure and keeping your property.
  • Repossession. Even if you're late with your car payment, it's often in a bank's best interest to negotiate the terms of your loan rather than repossessing your car and selling it for a loss at a used car auction.
  • Wage Garnishment. Wage garnishment can only happen as the result of a court order, but if it's affecting your ability to pay your other bills, something needs to be done.
  • Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA). If a debt collector is making you feel inappropriately harassed, he may be violating the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. Even if you owe money, you can still take the debt collector to court for damages.

 

Did Another Person Cause Your Injuries? Fight Back.

Accidents happen, but if a person who was acting negligently caused your accident, he needs to be held accountable for his actions. If you were harmed because of another person’s reckless and irresponsible behvaior, you could receive damages for pain and suffering, medical bills, car repairs, lost wages, rehabilitation, and more. Castle Law represents individuals in cases involving:

Car Accidents. A car crash can be a devastating for everyone involved. The injuries sustained may require a lifetime of medical treatment.

Truck Accidents. Fatigue is among the leading causes of commercial truck accidents, but when you're sharing the highway with an 8,000 lb. truck, anything can happen.

Motorcycle Accidents. This may seem shocking, but 80 percent of riders involved in a Missouri motorcycle accident are either injured or killed.

Pedestrian Accidents. Substantial injuries resulting from Missouri pedestrian accidents can lead to long-term physical and mental effects for that victim.

Work Injuries. When you are injured in a workplace accident, one of the challenges you face is how to provide for your family.

Wrongful Death. A wrongful death suit may be filed when a person dies as the result of someone else's negligent, reckless, or intentional act.
