Question 1

How long do I have to file a car accident lawsuit in Missouri?

Accepted Answer

The statute of limitations for personal injury in Missouri is five years from the date of the accident. Miss that deadline and you will almost certainly lose your right to compensation, no matter how clear the liability.

Question 2

What should I do after a car accident?

Accepted Answer

Photograph everything — both vehicles from multiple angles, the scene, injuries, road conditions, signals, signage. Seek medical attention even if you don't feel seriously hurt. Do not give a recorded statement to any insurance company before speaking with an attorney.

Question 3

What if the driver who hit me had no insurance?

Accepted Answer

An uninsured at-fault driver does not mean there is no path to compensation. An attorney can review every available insurance policy, identify all potential sources of recovery, and handle the claim against your own insurer — which can become adversarial in ways that surprise people.

Question 4

How much is my car accident case worth?

Accepted Answer

Case value depends on the severity of injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, future treatment, pain and suffering, and the available insurance. Be cautious of anyone who quotes a number without reviewing your file in detail.
