With over 40 years of experience, we have handled a number of different types of cases. Whether the case is small or large, we fight just as aggressively to make sure the rights of our clients are protected during every step of the legal process.
Melissa Pantazi specializes in:
- Workers’ Compensation – If you have been injured on the job, Missouri and Illinois laws entitle you to medical treatment and monetary compensation for your injuries. We will fight aggressively for your employer’s insurance company to provide you with all possible benefits allowed by law. We also handle workers’ compensation claims, up to and including death benefits if a family member was killed on the job.
- Automobile Accidents – If a distracted or impaired driver causes an accident and damages your vehicle or causes you physical harm, you will have a claim for damages under Missouri law. We can help you get compensation for those damages before going to court. If necessary, we can also help you take the other driver to court to ensure that your medical expenses are paid and you get compensation for all of your damages.
- Truck Accidents – Whether it is a sport truck, an SUV or a large 18-wheeler, truck accidents are known for causing a lot of damage. If you were in an accident with a truck and it was not your fault, we can help you.
- Slip and Fall Accidents (Premises Liability) – If you are on someone’s property and slip and fall due to negligence on their part, you may be able to get a settlement for your medical expenses and more. This is referred to as premises liability, and as experienced personal injury attorneys, we can help you through the legal process.
- Dog Bites – Owners of aggressive and dangerous dog breeds are being held responsible for the actions of their pets, especially when there is a lot of physical harm caused, which can lead to high medical bills.
- Social Security Disability – Applying for social security compensation is one of our rights, but going through the process of filling out the paperwork and dealing with the appeals process can be time consuming as well as completely confusing. This is where we can help you.
