What Makes the Resources Craig, Kelley & Faultless Offers Different from Other Firms

Craig, Kelley & Faultless has helped people recover from personal injury matters for the past 27 years. The three founding attorneys started the firm with the goal of protecting clients from the unfair tactics that insurance companies, truck companies, and large corporations may subject people to.

As the firm has grown, we’ve gained extensive hands-on experience with semi-truck accidents. With each new truck accident case, the firm’s attorneys realized there was a severe lack of resources available to victims and their families. The firm’s client-first philosophy pushed us to become pioneers in establishing more easily accessible resources for victims and their families. Seeing the positive impact developing these tools has on our clients became a motivating factor for the firm’s decision to become a resource for anyone affected by a serious truck wreck.

Client Resources at Craig, Kelley & Faultless

When the firm began expanding its practice into Missouri, we prioritized sharing our extensive experience with serious semi-truck accidents. The firm knew it wouldn’t be enough to just state our experience; we also wanted to showcase the care, effort, and resources we put into our cases. Semi-truck accidents leave victims and their families navigating unfamiliar circumstances, which are often things nothing in life prepared them for. Not only did their familial needs change, but also their individual needs. As we developed resources, we wanted to offer our clients the tools to address their immediate, short-term, and long-term needs. We noticed that Missouri was missing a law firm with the capacity to provide the resources truck wreck victims and their families need.

The environment we create for our clients is tailored to help them feel supported from start to finish with their case. This is one of the most impactful things we offer as a firm. All the staff at Craig, Kelley & Faultless understand the emotional, financial, and physical tolls that serious accidents can have on victims and their families. As the firm expanded, we wanted to ensure we had someone who understood the complex challenges our clients face and had the capacity to give them individualized attention and support.

 

When we added Mae Rood to the team as a Client Experience Coordinator, her background as a social worker stood out to the firm for that reason. Since her addition to the firm, our clients have been able to receive more individualized resources and attention.

The same high level of care and attention is provided during our accident investigations. Semi-truck companies and insurance companies are at the scene of a wreck almost immediately to start building their case. To level the playing field for our clients, we established our Rapid Response Team. We have a paralegal, investigator, and team coordinator who are dedicated to your case as soon as you hire Craig, Kelley & Faultless.

Wrongful deaths and serious truck accidents create cases where the victims and their families experience significant loss. Any attorney taking on these types of cases is responsible for helping their clients communicate their loss. Videos are a form of communication attorneys often use. Our firm understands the importance of accurately depicting our clients’ experiences and conveying the impact the accident had on them. That’s why we ensure our clients have access to a professional videography team, as well as a team that understands the severity of these accidents.

The resources we offer our clients start with having a team of attorneys, legal, and working professionals who understand their needs. Through their work, they can provide our clients with access to resources and support they may not have at other law firms.

Community Resources at Craig, Kelley & Faultless

Craig, Kelley & Faultless is also committed to being a community resource. One of the primary ways the firm does this is by sharing information. This gives victims and their families a credible source to turn to with questions.

The firm places priority on sharing information about semi-truck wrecks and how to navigate the aftermath. The firm’s podcast, After the Crash, is the most robust informational resource we offer. Nationally Recognized Truck Accident Attorney David W. Craig conducts interviews with industry experts and shares practical advice about what to do after a wrongful death, serious injury, or serious truck wreck. To make the information as accessible as possible, the firm shares it through multiple forms of communication. This gives people the option of listening, watching, or reading about the topic of discussion. The firm’s goal is to reach as many people as possible with valuable information that has the power to help them navigate the very difficult aftermath of a semi-truck accident.

Another of the firm’s educational initiatives includes the various short video series that are featured on our social media channels and website. We cover topics pertaining to road safety, attorney red flags, and information about the semi-truck industry. Access to the right information can empower victims and their families to make the best choices for their recovery after a wreck.

The firm also recognizes that we wouldn’t be able to provide any of the resources we offer or the information we share without the communities our offices reside in. That’s why we strongly believe it is our responsibility to give back to those communities. Our team does this through various volunteer opportunities and by sponsoring local organizations. We prioritized involvement in the St. Louis community as we expanded our practice into Missouri. Most recently, the firm was a proud sponsor of the Chamber Project in St. Louis.

What makes Craig, Kelley & Faultless different from other law firms isn’t a secret formula for winning our cases. It’s the values we built our firm on and the team we’ve built. Those two things are what have made us successful in developing the unique resources we offer our clients and the communities we’re a part of.
