Frequently Asked Questions

First, ensure everyone’s safety and call emergency services if needed. Document the accident scene, collect witness information, and seek medical care promptly.

Notify your insurance company but avoid making statements that could be interpreted as admitting fault. Consulting an attorney early can protect your rights.

In Missouri, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims resulting from car accidents is typically five years from the date of the accident.

Filing within this timeframe is crucial to preserving your legal rights and ensuring your claim is considered.

Most auto accident cases resolve through settlements negotiated with insurance companies to avoid lengthy trials.

However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to litigate your case and represent you in court.

You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other accident-related losses.

An attorney can help identify all applicable damages based on your circumstances.

Most auto accident attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you only pay if you receive a settlement or judgment.

This approach allows clients to access legal representation without upfront costs.

Missouri follows comparative fault rules, so you may recover damages even if you are partially responsible.

Your compensation will be reduced based on your percentage of fault but claims are still valid.

Bring any accident reports, medical records, insurance correspondence, and notes about the incident to help us evaluate your case efficiently.

Additional details you recall can also assist in assessing potential claims.
