Choosing an Attorney to Fight FOR Your Personal Injury Claim Is a Big Decision. Choose Wisely With Duckworth Injury Law

At Duckworth Injury Law, we understand you have lots of options when it comes to hiring a lawyer to represent you in your personal injury case in Columbia, Jefferson City, Lake of the Ozarks, or the surrounding mid-Missouri communities. That’s why it’s my goal to provide exemplary representation for each and every one of my clients who choose to trust my firm to handle their mid-Missouri personal injury case. I want my clients to believe they have hired the best personal injury lawyer for their claim. As the adage goes, “It takes a lifetime to build a good reputation, but you can lose it in a minute.” I understand and truly believe this, and as such, every client’s opinion of my firm is important, and every client’s experience goes a long way in upholding Duckworth Injury Law’s positive and trusted reputation in mid-Missouri. 

While I believe there are many reasons my firm is the best choice to handle your personal injury claim in mid-Missouri, here are some of the top reasons.

Why Duckworth Injury Law Is the Choice for Mid-MissouriANS Seeking a Personal Injury Attorney

1. EC Duckworth, Duckworth Injury Law’s attorney, has a proven track record of success 

Attorney EC Duckworth has recovered tens of millions of dollars for injured victims and their families across Missouri. From a seven-figure car accident settlement to a jury verdict in excess of $950,000 to a $700,000 trucking accident settlement, his results speak for themselves. We believe serious injury accidents warrant serious results for clients. 

2. Duckworth Injury Law’s founding attorney Has top tier credentials 

EC Duckworth attended college at the University of Missouri, where he graduated in just three years. After completing his undergrad studies, EC attended law school at the University of Missouri, where he graduated cum laude and in the top 10 of his law school class. During law school, EC was a member of the Missouri Law Review, where he had the privilege of having his work published in the Missouri Law Review’s Legal Journal. In recognition of his high academic achievement and scholarly distinction within the legal field, EC was granted admission to The Order of the Coif - a prestigious national honor society for law school graduates in the United States. 

Following law school, EC refined his trial skills at the Ross T. Roberts Trial Academy and has been a longtime member of the Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys. 

3. Personal injury & wrongful death is all we do at our mid-Missouri personal injury law firm

After briefly practicing at a large civil defense law firm in Kansas City following law school, Attorney Duckworth has exclusively represented plaintiffs, including injured victims in their families, for the duration of his career to date. Now, having founded Duckworth Injury Law, Attorney Duckworth continues to focus nearly exclusively on representing injured Missourians and their families in personal injury and wrongful death cases.

While many firms claim to be a jack of all trades, our firm’s focus on personal injury and wrongful death law allows us to be knowledgeable, experienced, and ready to battle for accident victims at a moment’s notice. The firm routinely handles car crashes (including rear-end collisions, T-bone collisions, rideshare collisions), motorcycle crashes, truck crashes (including tractor-trailer crashes, 18-wheeler crashes, and commercial vehicle crashes), boat crashes, slip and fall accidents, wrongful death accidents, and other third-party liability claims.

4. Our injury law firm is local to mid-Missouri 

Although there are plenty of personal injury firms who advertise in mid-Missouri, only a fraction of those firms are truly from mid-Missouri, are based out of mid-Missouri, and routinely practice in mid-Missouri. Hiring a local mid-Missouri attorney for your personal injury claim provides a huge advantage in the handling of your claim. A local lawyer is accessible (you can meet with them in person), understands the local courts (will know local court/judge rules and common juror ideology), and will keep your case expenses down (an out-of-town lawyer will likely charge case expenses for traveling to court and depositions in your area). 

At Duckworth Injury Law, our office is located in downtown Columbia, Missouri. Our attorney grew up in Southern Boone County, Missouri, and he has handled mid-Missouri injury cases for many years. Our attorney routinely handles cases in Moberly, Mexico, Boonville, Marshall, Sedalia, Columbia, Jefferson City, Fulton, and the Lake of the Ozarks (among other mid-Missouri communities). 

5. Duckworth Injury Law brings personalized attention to your personal injury claim

At Duckworth Injury Law, every claim is personally handled by Attorney EC Duckworth. Unlike many firms that will punt your claim off to a paralegal or associate attorney, we believe our clients deserve to have the lawyer they thought they were hiring actually working on their case. When you hire Duckworth Injury Law, you’re hiring lawyer EC Duckworth to handle your case from start to finish. 

6. We are proud to provide free case evaluation & consultation to victims of personal injuries in mid-Missouri

The choice of a lawyer is an important decision – perhaps one of most important decisions you will ever make. Following a serious injury accident or a wrongful death accident, oftentimes, injured claimants and their loved ones are overwhelmed with medical bills, lost wages, and grief. Hiring an experienced personal injury attorney who will maximize your recovery is crucial. As such, we believe potential clients should be able to speak with their potential lawyer without worrying about the costs associated with doing so. At Duckworth Injury Law, all case evaluations and initial consultations are free, giving you peace of mind that you have had the opportunity to choose the best attorney for your personal injury or wrongful death claim. 

7. When you trust Duckworth Injury Law, you won’t pay any fees until we win your case 

Simply put, you owe us nothing until we win your case. All fees and expenses come from the ultimate settlement or judgment we recover. If there is no settlement or judgment, you owe us no fees or expenses.
