Client's Story

My name is Stephanie R. and my story begins with my being injured on the job in November of 1997. I injured my left arm and it had a huge impact on me, both personally and professionally.

I attempted physical therapy but it didn’t do any good. Ultimately I required surgery in February, 1998. After I was finally released from medical treatment, my attorney went through several offers and counter-offers, keeping me well informed during this process. Finally, I agreed to a substantial offer and we closed the case.

My initial discussion with my employer helped me determine that they were not looking out for my best interest. Due to the severity of the injury, I knew that I needed an attorney. I had heard of Brown and Crouppen, but never thought I would need them.

My initial consultation with a Brown and Crouppen attorney was in their St. Charles office, which was very convenient. I understand that they have other offices throughout the St. Louis area, including their main office downtown.

The attorney and staff who handled the case were very helpful and informative. I was so impressed with their knowledge and abilities that I returned to them a second time for another on the job injury, which we recently settled in 2002. We are still negotiating the second injury fund (SIF) portion of this latest claim and I hope to get a third settlement check soon.

I made the right decision in retaining the services of Brown and Crouppen. I could see that there were going to be numerous road blocks placed in my path, which only a knowledgeable workers’ compensation attorney could overcome. Obviously, I hope I never get injured again. However, if I do, I’ll be sure to call Brown and Crouppen.
