In Missouri, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is generally five years from the date of the injury.

It’s important to consult with an attorney promptly to ensure your claim is filed within the required timeframe.

Compensation may cover medical expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages resulting from the injury.

Many personal injury cases are resolved through settlement negotiations without going to court.

However, if a fair settlement cannot be reached, we are prepared to represent you in court to protect your rights.

We typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing unless we recover compensation for you.

This approach helps ensure that legal representation is accessible regardless of your financial situation.

Missouri follows a comparative fault rule, which means your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault but not eliminated entirely.

We evaluate your case thoroughly to maximize your potential recovery under these rules.
