Frequently Asked Questions

Ensure your safety first by moving to a safe location if possible and seeking medical attention for any injuries. Contact the police to report the accident and collect information from witnesses and the driver involved.

Document the scene with photos and notes to preserve evidence. Reach out to a qualified attorney promptly to discuss your legal rights and next steps.

Missouri follows a comparative fault system, meaning you can still recover damages even if you share some responsibility for the accident. Your compensation may be reduced based on your percentage of fault.

An attorney can help evaluate the facts and negotiate to maximize your recovery while accounting for any shared fault.

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Missouri is generally five years from the date of the accident, but it is best to act promptly to preserve evidence and ensure timely filing.

Consulting an attorney as soon as possible can help avoid missing critical deadlines.

You may be eligible to recover compensatory damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and property damage related to the accident.

Each case is unique, and an attorney can help identify all applicable damages based on your situation.

Many pedestrian accident cases are resolved through negotiation and settlement, which can save time and expense. However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take the case to trial to protect your rights.

Your attorney will advise you on the best course based on the specifics of your case.

Typically, attorneys work on a contingency fee basis for personal injury cases, meaning you pay nothing upfront. Fees are only collected if a settlement or award is obtained on your behalf.

This arrangement allows you to access legal representation without financial risk.

Our commitment to personalized client care, thorough knowledge of Missouri’s laws, and attentive communication ensures you are supported throughout the legal process.

We prioritize your satisfaction and work diligently to achieve the best possible outcome tailored to your needs.
