Frequently Asked Questions

It is wise to contact a qualified attorney as soon as possible after an auto accident, especially if you have sustained injuries or if liability is unclear.

Prompt legal advice can help protect your rights, preserve critical evidence, and ensure that you meet any important deadlines for filing claims.

Compensation typically covers medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, pain and suffering, and other related costs incurred due to the accident.

An attorney can help evaluate your damages fully to seek appropriate compensation in alignment with Missouri state laws.

The duration of an auto accident case varies depending on the complexity of the claim and whether the case settles or proceeds to trial.

Your attorney will provide guidance throughout the process and keep you informed about anticipated timelines based on your case specifics.

Many personal injury cases, including auto accidents, are handled on a contingency fee basis, meaning you typically pay legal fees only if you recover compensation.

Discuss fee arrangements with your attorney during the initial consultation to understand all financial considerations.

Missouri follows a comparative fault rule, allowing you to recover compensation even if you are partially at fault, although the amount may be reduced by your percentage of fault.

An attorney can assess your case details and work to maximize your recovery despite shared fault.

Ensure everyone’s safety, seek medical attention as needed, document the scene thoroughly, and exchange information with other parties involved.

Contacting an attorney early can help you navigate these steps effectively while preserving your rights.
