St. Louis Bicycle Accident Attorney
Millikan Law Can Help You Seek Justice
When it comes to accidents on the road, bicyclists are put at a profound disadvantage when it comes to the risk of injury. Without the benefits of cabin safety features, these individuals are exposed directly to collisions and the trauma they can inflict. It is not uncommon for bicyclists to face catastrophic and even life-threatening injuries from an accident with a motor vehicle.
When these accidents occur due to motorist negligence, then legal action is called for. At Millikan Law, we know what it takes to bring compelling and effective legal action against the responsible parties and put their clients in the best possible position to receive the compensation the deserve.

How Motorists Cause Bicycle Accidents
Over the last few years, we have seen a rise in the popularity of bicycling. While it remains a cheap and healthy way to commute, not all drivers have acclimated themselves to watching for bicycles in the usual flow of motor vehicle traffic. Because of this, bicyclists are often marginalized on the road and put at risk of injury.
Motorists can cause injury to bicyclists when:
Motorists can cause injury to bicyclists when:
- They drift into bike lanes (or road shoulders)
- They do not look for bicycles before exiting their vehicle (door injuries)
- They are driving while distracted (devices, phones, etc.)
- They are driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol
- They do not look or signal before turning at an intersection
- They follow bicyclists too closely (tailgating)
- They exceed the speed limit
If you believe that one of the above causes played a role in your bicycle accident, then you may have the grounds to seek relief for your medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering. At Millikan Law, we believe in the rights, interests, and dignity of injury victims and can make recovering compensation on your behalf our highest priority.

Dog Bite Attorney in St. Louis
If You Have Been Harmed, Act With Our Lawyer
According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 4.5 million Americans are victims of dog bite attacks each year. Every day, over 1,000 people need emergency care to treat injuries related to dog bites. Missouri, like many other states, has a law that makes dog owners liable if their dogs cause
injury. Missouri's law is called a "strict liability" statute because it imposes liability without fault - that is, an injured person does not have to prove that the dog showed any vicious propensities or that the owner had knowledge of such viciousness.
If a person in St. Louis is on public property or lawfully on private property and is bitten, the owner of the dog is liable. This liability also extends to a person who is not the owner of the dog but who is in possession of the dog when the dog bite occurs. For example, if the owner leaves his dog with a friend while the owner is out of town, the friend can be held liable for injuries from a dog bite that occurs while the dog is in the friend's possession.

Can I Pursue a Dog Bite Claim?
To successfully pursue a claim, the injured person will need to show that the dog bite he or she suffered directly resulted in the injuries sustained. While a dog bite can lead to serious physical injury, it can also lead to emotional and psychological scarring. You may be able to recover compensation for a number of economic and non-economic losses, including:
- Medical Bills
- Future Medical Bills
- Lost Wages
- Permanent Disability
- Loss of Enjoyment of Life
- Permanent Scarring
- Wrongful Death
In Missouri, if it is determined that the injured person had fault in the dog bite incident, any damages owed by the owner or possessor of the biting dog will be reduced by the percentage that the injured person's fault contributed to the incident. For example, if a jury found the owner liable in a dog bite incident but placed 50% of the fault on the injured person, the jury's award would be reduced by 50%.
Insurance companies routinely deny injury claims resulting from dog bites on the basis that the injured person was at fault by either provoking the dog or by claiming that the person should not have been in the area where the dog bite occurred. Consequently, it is imperative that an injured person consult with an attorney experienced in dog bite cases. The attorney at Millikan Law have successfully pursued dog bite claims in the past and can do the same for you.

How Premises Liability Suits Work
In the state of Missouri (and most other states, as well), property owners owe something called "duty of care" to welcome visitors to their property. This duty of care means that they must a) provide safe conditions for visitors, b) warn visitors of any existing conditions that could be hazardous, and c) address any newly discovered dangerous conditions in a timely manner. Common locations involved with these suits include retail stores, supermarkets, event venues, parking structures, and residential complexes.
Common examples of premises liability cases involve:
Common examples of premises liability cases involve:
- Slip and fall injuries
- Dog bites
- Lack of security
- Swimming pool accidents
- Toxic exposures (lead paint, etc.)
- Any defective conditions on a premises leading to injury
In these cases, the burden is on the plaintiff (the injured party) to prove that they were owed duty of care and that the property owner's inability to provide it directly contributed to an injury. At our firm, we are well-versed in providing this kind of investigative diligence. We are prepared to document a scene, speak to witnesses, and even consult with experts to ensure that the circumstances of your avoidable injury are compellingly put forth before the law.
