Editorial Guidelines

At Goldblatt + Singer, our editorial guidelines serve a critical role in how we create, publish, and maintain legal content about personal injury cases. These standards help us ensure that every piece of information on our website is not only accurate but also clear, helpful, and aligned with our values. By upholding these guidelines, we give potential clients the clarity they need during some of the most difficult moments in their lives.

Our legal team has been serving the St. Louis community since 1949, and we take pride in consistently delivering trustworthy, up-to-date information that helps individuals understand their rights and evaluate their options, while pursuing fair compensation after an accident.

Website Purpose

Our website exists to serve individuals and families in St. Louis and throughout Missouri and Illinois who are dealing with the aftermath of a personal injury. The content we provide is intended to answer legal questions, guide potential clients toward making informed decisions, and offer peace of mind by showcasing what legal options may be available.

Our platform is more than just a digital business card; it is a legal resource. By publishing content rooted in verified statutes, recent case law, and Missouri-specific regulations, we aim to equip injured individuals with knowledge they can trust.

We do not rely on vague summaries or overly technical language. Instead, our goal is to provide personal injury content that:

Reflects Missouri’s most current personal injury laws
Uses plain language while maintaining legal accuracy
Anticipates the questions our clients frequently ask
Encourages direct contact for personalized legal guidance

Goldblatt + Singer Legal Expertise

As a law firm with over seven decades of legal experience, we bring a strong record of real case results and long-term community commitment to everything we publish. Each content piece is built upon actual client outcomes, real courtroom insights, and Missouri law, not hypotheticals or outsourced assumptions.

When a driver is struck by a distracted motorist on I-64, or a family loses a loved one in a fatal truck crash, we understand that they don’t just want legal definitions—they want answers. That’s why our content emphasizes:

How Missouri’s fault and liability laws actually apply to real-world accidents
What steps should victims take immediately after an injury
How timelines, insurance complications, and settlement expectations play out locally

We reflect the real outcomes our firm has delivered in the courtroom and during negotiations, without exaggeration or omission. Our Editorial Guidelines require that no legal claims be made without context or validation.

Editorial Control

We maintain full editorial control over all content on our website. This means our attorneys, content editors, and compliance team work collaboratively to ensure that:

All legal information aligns with Missouri statutes
Citations are taken directly from validated sources
No AI-generated or auto-populated content is published without human review
No medical or legal advice is provided without clarity that it’s informational only

Every blog, FAQ, or practice area page must pass an internal review process that checks for the following:

Relevance to our clients
Clear, accurate language
No misleading or unverifiable claims
Proper tone and structure in line with our firm’s values

We update older content to reflect any legislative or procedural changes, particularly those impacting statutes of limitations, court procedures, or comparative fault laws in Missouri.

Who’s Our Audience?

Our audience includes people who have been injured, physically or emotionally, due to someone else’s negligence, carelessness, or misconduct. Most of our readers are:

Residents of St. Louis or nearby regions in Missouri and Illinois
Dealing with insurance disputes, hospital bills, or vehicle damage
Searching for trustworthy legal information before speaking to a lawyer
Family members helping loved ones after serious injuries or wrongful death

We also consider the unique needs of our readers, who may be under significant stress, confused by legal processes, or concerned about their financial future. For that reason, our content avoids overly technical descriptions and instead focuses on practical help.

We write for real people—those who need answers, not academic citations. If we use legal terms like “comparative fault” or “damages cap,” we explain what they mean in everyday language. The goal is clarity, not complexity.

Practice Areas We Handle

While our website covers many case types, our content prioritizes general personal injury categories that Missouri residents most often search for. These include:

Each topic we write about must relate to actual scenarios our clients face. Whether it’s navigating insurance claims after a T-bone crash or recovering damages from a negligent landlord after a staircase fall, we base our content on real cases and real outcomes.

We follow Missouri Revised Statutes when explaining time limits, filing requirements, and compensation rules. For example, under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 516.120, injured individuals typically have five years to file a personal injury claim, but delays can drastically impact results, so we highlight those nuances where applicable.
