Personal Injury Law

12444 Powerscourt Dr suite 150, St. Louis, MO 63131, USA

Tom Wilmowski is widely considered one of Missouri and Southern Illinois’s leading personal injury lawyers. Tom prides himself on using his inside knowledge of the insurance industry to obtain maximum value — and often more — for his clients. Tom brings nearly a decade of experience representing insurance carriers and some of the nation’s largest trucking companies. His in-depth understanding of their tactics and strategies, coupled with his Class A Commercial Driver’s License obtained in 2010, allows him to effectively advocate for his clients, ensuring they receive the compensation they deserve. Tom firmly believes that each claim is unique and demands its own strategic plan. Unlike many personal injury attorneys who delegate claims to non-attorney staff, Tom is personally involved from the initial intake through settlement, post-trial motions, and appeals. This hands-on approach ensures that his clients receive the attention and care they deserve. Tom was born and raised in the Chicago suburb of Homewood, where he graduated from Homewood-Flossmoor Community High School. He graduated with honors from Mizzou with degrees in Journalism and Political Science. He also received his J.D. from the University of Missouri School of Law. Throughout his career, from law school clerking during summers to the present, Tom has been on both sides of injury law — both in defense and helping clients get the results and insurance settlements they deserve. He and his wife, Allyson, reside in St. Louis County with their two daughters, Tabitha and Beatrice, and their Old English Sheepdog, Martha.
