We begin by assessing your case details to determine the best strategy and explain your legal options clearly.

In Missouri, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims, including pedestrian accidents, is generally five years from the date of the accident.
It is important to consult with a lawyer promptly to ensure your claim is filed within this period.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other related costs caused by the accident.
Each case is unique and requires careful evaluation to identify all applicable damages.
Many pedestrian accident cases are resolved through settlement negotiations without the need for trial.
However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to represent you at trial.
We operate on a contingency fee basis, meaning you do not pay legal fees unless we recover compensation for you.
This approach ensures our commitment to your case and removes upfront financial barriers.
Missouri follows a comparative fault rule, which means your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault but you can still recover damages.
Our lawyers help assess fault accurately to protect your rights.
The duration varies depending on case facts, insurance cooperation, and court schedules.
We strive to resolve cases as efficiently as possible while securing fair compensation.
