Acting promptly is important to ensure evidence remains available and your claim is within the legal timeframe. Contacting an attorney early can help guide your timeline effectively.
Missouri follows a comparative fault rule, meaning you can still recover damages even if you share some responsibility for the accident.
However, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. Consulting with an attorney can clarify how this applies to your situation.
You may recover compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any long-term impacts on your quality of life due to the injury.
An experienced attorney can help quantify these damages to pursue the full value you deserve.
