BUILDING A STRONG PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM in Coles County
Too often, large corporations put profits over safety. Insurance carriers actively find ways to limit payouts in an attempt to protect their bottom line. You need a powerful ally to protect your interests and your future. That is where The Tapella & Eberspacher Law Firm comes into the picture.
Our personal injury attorneys in Charleston are friendly and compassionate. We take delight in participating in community events and neighborhood activities. This is far from the whole story, however. When we immerse ourselves in a case—small or big—we fight until the end to get our clients the security, compensation, and peace of mind they deserve.
We understand that accidents and injuries result not only in devastating pain, suffering, and medical expenses, but cause a disruption from everyday life, the loss of income, and the need for future treatment.
Depending on the needs of your case, we will retain the very best experts from the medical profession. We routinely work with an excellent network of surgeons, radiologists, toxicologists, and forensic pathologists. We also retain experts from various disciplines, including accident reconstructionists, civil engineers, economists, and other industry specialists.
Serving Coles County and the St. Louis area, our attorneys are prepared to protect your interests as we pursue the compensation that can help you rebuild, recover, and move on with your life. It's not easy, but it's our mission and we will do everything in our power to accomplish it.
