Why We Succeed
Why injured clients choose Henderson Law Firm
Thomas J. Henderson combines litigation and appellate experience with a practical understanding of damages, medical proof, and the financial realities that follow a serious injury. The goal is straightforward: build the case diligently, value it aggressively, and be ready to press it when necessary.
Early evidence work
Strong cases begin with early work obtaining records, witness statements, physical evidence and photographs, all of which insurance companies attempt to control.
Damage analysis
A finance background and years of litigation experience help the firm evaluate lost income, future harm, and past and future medical expenses, and ultimately your case value with discipline.
Complex medical proof
Serious injury claims often involve disputed causation, difficult treatment history, experts, and long-term impairment issues. We have the experience to tackle these issues head-on.
Missouri and Illinois
Licensed in Missouri and Illinois, the firm represents clients across the St. Louis region with a practical local perspective in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, St. Charles County, Jefferson County, and St. Clair County.
What You Get
Direct attorney access
You work directly with Thomas Henderson — not a paralegal or case manager. When you have questions about your case, you get straight answers from the attorney handling it.
Prepared for litigation
Cases are built with trial credibility from day one — gathering evidence, lining up experts, and developing damages — so the firm negotiates from a position of strength, not urgency.
Focused on full recovery
The firm works to identify and document all compensable losses — medical costs, future care, lost income, and non-economic harm — so the claim reflects what you actually lost.
Case Focus

When a crash, fall, or wrongful death claim turns your life upside down, you need to know what kind of case you are dealing with and whether the insurer is likely to fight about fault, treatment, or value.

Car and Truck Accidents
Claims involving serious vehicle collisions, commercial trucking cases, disputed liability, uninsured drivers, and insurers that minimize real harm.
Wrongful Death
Representation for families facing devastating loss, complex damage issues, and difficult accountability questions.
Slip and Fall
Premises liability claims involving unsafe conditions, poor maintenance, and injuries insurers often try to downplay.
Workplace Injuries

After an Injury
What to do after a serious accident
1. Get medical care
Protect your health and make sure your injuries are documented as early as possible.
2. Preserve evidence
Save photos, reports, witness information, vehicle details, and insurance paperwork.

A consultation can help clarify liability, timing, and what the claim may actually require.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to speak with an injury lawyer?
Consultations are available for personal injury and wrongful death matters, and representation is handled on a no-fee-unless-you-win basis.
What if the insurance company has already contacted me?
Be careful about recorded statements, rushed settlements, and early case evaluations that do not yet reflect the full scope of your injuries and losses.
Do all personal injury cases go to trial?
No. Many cases resolve before trial, but a trial-ready approach often improves how a claim is valued and negotiated throughout the life of the case.
What if the at-fault driver didn’t have insurance?
Missouri and Illinois both require drivers to carry liability insurance, but not everyone does. If the at-fault driver is uninsured or underinsured, your own policy may provide coverage through uninsured and underinsured motorist benefits. We can help identify all available sources of recovery for your claim.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Missouri follows a pure comparative fault rule, meaning you can still recover even if you were partly at fault — your damages are reduced by your percentage of fault. Illinois uses a modified version with a 51% threshold.
