Jim Avery

Jim Avery is the founder and lead personal injury attorney at Avery Injury Law in St. Louis. His practice is devoted to personal injury claims for people harmed by negligence. The firm handles auto accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle and rideshare crashes, dog bites, workers’ compensation, premises liability, slip-and-fall cases, wrongful death, and other injury matters. He prepares claims with an emphasis on investigation, clear communication, and readiness to litigate when insurers dispute responsibility or damages.

Jim earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Missouri St. Louis, where he served as Student Body President. He received his Juris Doctor from Saint Louis University School of Law and developed experience in trial advocacy during law school. His academic and advocacy training supports a practice that requires factual investigation, legal analysis, evaluation of medical and financial losses, negotiation with insurers, and preparation for the possibility that a disputed injury claim will proceed to trial.

Jim founded Avery Injury Law after personal experience with serious injuries from a car crash that required extensive surgery. In practice, he represents clients whose injuries can create medical bills, lost income, long-term limitations, and pressure from insurance carriers. He develops claims based on the facts and damages of each case and uses trial preparation to strengthen the firm’s position in negotiations, particularly when insurers challenge causation, fault, or the value of an injury.

Jim Avery has been recognized by Super Lawyers and leads a St. Louis firm focused entirely on personal injury law. His background includes military service as well as plaintiff-side legal work, and he applies a disciplined approach to case preparation and client communication. He helps injured people understand the legal process, document the effects of an accident, and pursue compensation under Missouri law through negotiation or litigation when a claim cannot be resolved fairly.
