Christopher A. Allen

Christopher A. Allen is the founder of Allen Injury Law and a personal injury attorney in Clayton, Missouri. Allen represents injured people in truck and auto accidents, industrial accidents, premises liability, products liability, workers’ compensation, and wrongful death matters. His practice grew from earlier work representing insurance companies, giving him experience with how insurers evaluate and defend claims before he shifted his career toward advocating for personal injury victims in serious civil litigation.

Allen earned a J.D. from Saint Louis University School of Law in 1996 and a Bachelor of Arts from Creighton University in 1993. During law school, he clerked for a federal judge and worked as a faculty fellow. His education and early judicial experience support a litigation practice involving legal research, evidence, damages, and trial preparation. These foundations are especially relevant in cases requiring close review of medical records, accident facts, insurance positions, and expert testimony.

Allen has litigated serious accident cases for more than two decades, from smaller injury claims to multimillion-dollar injury and wrongful death matters. He is admitted in Missouri and Illinois and in federal courts that include the Eighth Circuit, Eastern District of Missouri, Seventh Circuit, and Southern District of Illinois. His firm lists professional memberships in the Bar Association of Metropolitan St. Louis, Missouri Association of Trial Attorneys, and American Association for Justice.

Christopher A. Allen has received professional recognition that includes an AV Peer Review Rating, Super Lawyers selections, National Trial Lawyers Top 100 recognition, and membership in the Million Dollar and Multi-Million Dollar Advocates forums. His personal injury practice combines trial experience, insurance-defense insight, and direct work with injured clients.
