In Missouri, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims from auto accidents is generally five years from the date of the accident.
Filing within this timeframe is essential to preserve your right to pursue compensation.
Many auto accident cases are resolved through negotiation or settlement. However, if a fair agreement cannot be reached, we are prepared to take your case to trial.
We will discuss all options with you and develop a strategy that aligns with your goals.
You may be entitled to compensation for medical expenses, lost wages, property damage, and pain and suffering depending on your circumstances.
Each case is unique, and we will work to secure the maximum recovery possible.
Ott Law operates on a contingency fee basis for auto accident cases, meaning you pay legal fees only if we successfully recover compensation for you.
This approach ensures that you can pursue justice without upfront financial strain.
The duration varies based on factors such as case complexity and insurance negotiations. Some cases resolve within months, while others may take longer.
We will provide regular updates and work efficiently to achieve timely results.
Missouri follows a comparative fault system, so you may still recover damages even if you share some responsibility for the accident.
Your compensation will be adjusted based on your percentage of fault, and we will strive to minimize your liability.
Keep detailed records of medical visits, expenses, and any communication related to your accident.
Early treatment helps your health and provides important evidence for your claim.
Consult with your attorney before discussing the accident with insurance representatives.
