Thousands of vehicle collisions occur in the St. Louis region every year, and in most of these wrecks, at least one driver acted carelessly or failed to follow the rules of the road.

Most personal injury claims in Missouri must be filed within five years under Missouri Revised Statutes Section 516.120, which addresses injuries to the person at Section 516.120. Certain exceptions may apply based on the circumstances, such as cases involving minors, delayed discovery of injuries, or situations where the negligent party attempted to conceal wrongdoing. We guide clients through these timelines by reviewing the facts of their case, identifying any applicable extensions, and ensuring all required documents are prepared and filed within the statutory period. Acting promptly helps preserve critical evidence, strengthens your claim, and protects your right to pursue compensation without unnecessary delays.
Yes, Missouri follows a comparative fault system, which means you may still pursue compensation even if you share some responsibility for the accident. Your final award may be adjusted based on your percentage of fault, and the court or insurance carrier will review all available evidence to determine how liability should be divided. We work to minimize any unfair attribution of blame by analyzing police reports, witness statements, medical findings, and accident reconstruction materials. By building a clear narrative of what truly occurred, we help protect your right to recover compensation and ensure that fault is assigned accurately and fairly according to Missouri law.
