About
- James R. Cantalin is an AV-rated trial lawyer with more than 20 years of experience litigating personal injury matters
- Before joining Brown & Crouppen P.C., Mr. Cantalin was a partner at one of the largest defense firms in St. Louis working on behalf of local and national insurance companies defending personal injury claims
- Mr. Cantalin’s practice area included defending healthcare professionals, pharmacists, retailers, manufacturers, property owners, trucking operators, contractors, architects, engineers and attorneys
- After years as a successful litigation defense attorney working for the insurance companies, Mr. Cantalin switched sides to come to Brown & Crouppen so that he can now represent individuals who have suffered catastrophic loss
- Because of his defense training, he understands the tactical approach that insurance companies utilize defending injury claims
- This intimate understanding gives Mr. Cantalin the ability to help clients obtain a just settlement in the shortest amount of time and, if necessary, use his more than 20 years of trial experience to litigate the case to a jury
- The switch from representing insurance companies to fighting for injured victims and their families is also personal
- He understands firsthand how surviving family members feel and what it means to have to carry on after a loss
- He also understands that when a loss is due to the negligence of another, the law provides the opportunity for the individual to go to court to ask for justice
- That “justice” is in the form of the only thing available to balance the loss – monetary compensation
- Although it can never bring back a loved one or make the person physically whole, monetary compensation is oftentimes the only way to prevent financial catastrophe for the family especially when it involves the loss of a parent or head of household
