Frequently Asked Questions

Immediately after an accident, seek medical attention even if injuries seem minor, as some symptoms may appear later. Reporting the incident to your employer promptly is also essential to ensure proper documentation.

Contacting an attorney early helps protect your rights and guides you through the claim process. Collecting evidence and preserving details at the scene can be crucial for your case.

Missouri follows a comparative fault system, so you may still be eligible for compensation even if you share some responsibility for the accident.

An attorney can help assess the degree of fault and how it affects your claim to maximize your recovery despite partial liability.

The statute of limitations for personal injury claims in Missouri is generally five years from the date of the accident.

Filing within this timeframe is critical, so consulting with a lawyer early ensures your claim is timely and properly handled.

Compensation may include medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and disability benefits depending on your case specifics.

An attorney will help document your damages thoroughly to seek full and fair compensation.

Many cases settle out of court through negotiations, but if a fair settlement isn’t possible, your attorney can prepare to advocate for you in trial.

Having experienced legal representation ensures your interests are represented whether in settlement discussions or court proceedings.

Our firm works on a contingency fee basis, so you pay no upfront costs and only pay if we recover compensation on your behalf.
