Practice Areas
One Practice — Many Paths to Justice
Injury cases rarely fit in a single box. A car crash might also involve uninsured motorist coverage. A delivery‑route collision could be both an auto accident and a workers’ compensation claim. A serious fall at a store may require a premises liability case—and if treatment goes wrong, medical malpractice or even wrongful death can come into play.
That’s why Dan Rau takes a comprehensive approach: identify every responsible party, explore every insurance policy, and coordinate the legal paths that best protect your recovery. Below are the core areas Dan handles across Cape Girardeau and Southeast Missouri.
Auto Accidents
Car accidents can lead to serious injuries and complex legal battles. I’ll guide you through every step—so you can focus on healing while I fight for fair compensation.
Workers’ Compensation
Workplace injuries can affect your ability to earn a living. If you were hurt on the job, I’ll help you secure the benefits and medical care you’re entitled to.
Slip & Fall Injuries
A fall on unsafe property can cause lasting harm. I’m here to hold property owners accountable and help you pursue the compensation you deserve.
Truck Accidents
Truck crashes often cause severe injuries and major disruption. I’ll investigate every detail of your case and aggressively seek the recovery you’re owed.
Medical Malpractice
When medical care goes wrong, the results can be devastating. If you were harmed by a healthcare provider’s mistake, I’ll help you seek justice and accountability.
Wrongful Death
Losing a loved one due to someone’s negligence is life-altering. I’ll walk with you through the legal process and fight to protect your family’s future.
How These Cases Can Overlap
- Crash on the job? You may have Workers’ Comp and a third‑party Auto/Truck claim.
- Fall at work on someone else’s property? Potential Workers’ Comp + Slip & Fall against the property owner.
- Medical errors after an accident? A personal injury case can include Medical Malpractice if negligent treatment worsened injuries.
- Tragic outcomes: Many areas intersect with Wrongful Death.
