First, ensure everyone’s safety and call emergency services if needed. Gather as much information as possible including witness contacts, the other party’s details, and photos of the scene. Seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor, as some symptoms may appear later.
Contacting a pedestrian accident attorney as soon as possible helps protect your rights and gather crucial evidence early to strengthen your claim.
In Missouri, the statute of limitations for filing a personal injury claim, including pedestrian accidents, is generally five years from the date of the accident. However, it’s best to consult with an attorney promptly to avoid missing important deadlines.
Starting your case early allows us to investigate thoroughly and preserve evidence while memories are fresh and witnesses are available.
Most pedestrian accident cases are resolved through negotiation and settlement without going to trial. Our goal is to secure a fair agreement as efficiently as possible.
If a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to advocate for you in court to protect your interests and pursue the compensation you deserve.
Missouri follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning you can still recover damages if you are less than 50% responsible for the accident, though your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
An experienced attorney can help evaluate your case and ensure your rights are protected regardless of fault.
Victims may be eligible for compensation covering medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the accident and recovery.
Your attorney will work to understand your unique losses and pursue the maximum compensation possible under Missouri law.
Typically, personal injury attorneys work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay no upfront costs and only pay legal fees if you recover compensation.
During your consultation, we will explain all fees and costs upfront so you have a clear understanding before proceeding.
