About Gary Burger

Burger Law helps those injured through the negligence of another receive justice and maximum compensation for their injuries. In over 30 years of experience, we have secured over $200 million in compensation for our clients. With offices in St. Louis, Chicago, Chesterfield, and Southern Illinois, we are well-suited to serve the injured throughout Missouri and Illinois. An injury can cause immediate financial, physical and emotional hardships. As the highest-rated and most-reviewed personal injury law firm in the Midwest, we stand up to bullies like resistant insurance companies and irresponsible people and corporations who do not want to take responsibility for their actions. From the moment you hire us, we start working on your case right away. As your personal injury attorneys we will fully investigate your case and acquire all the evidence, use our experience, legal knowledge and network of experts to prove liability, and deal with all the legal aspects so you can focus on healing. We fight until there is nothing left to fight; whether that means negotiating a fair settlement offer with the insurance company, or taking your case to trial to get you the financial recovery you are owed. Call us for a free consultation today at 314-500-HURT.
