# The Gogel Law Firm > A St. Louis, Missouri personal injury and medical malpractice law firm representing accident and negligence victims throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area and across Missouri. The firm handles personal injury, medical malpractice, workers' compensation, nursing home abuse, and legal malpractice claims on a contingency-fee basis ("no fee unless we win"). The firm is led by founder and attorney Jeremy A. Gogel, a former insurance-defense lawyer whose background includes professional-liability defense and a judicial clerkship at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Illinois. That insurance-side experience informs how the firm anticipates and counters insurer tactics. Reported results include a $5.6 million jury verdict, a $3 million wrongful death verdict (medical malpractice), and $1 million-plus medical malpractice and car accident recoveries. - Office: 745 Old Ballas Road, St. Louis, MO 63141 - Phone: (314) 370-8173 | Fax: (314) 399-8277 - Email: jeremy@gogellawfirm.com - Service area: St. Louis metro and statewide Missouri. General Missouri personal injury law context the firm's matters commonly involve: - Statute of limitations: generally five years from the date of injury for personal injury claims; if the injury could not reasonably have been discovered, the five-year period runs from the date of discovery. - Fault: Missouri follows a pure comparative fault rule, so an injured party can recover even if partially at fault, with damages reduced by their percentage of fault. - Damages: medical malpractice cases are subject to Missouri's statutory cap on non-economic damages. ## Firm Overview -
