Frequently Asked Questions
What is the time limit to file a personal injury lawsuit in Missouri?
Missouri has a statute of limitations of five years for personal injury claims from the date of the injury. For claims against a government entity, you must file a notice within 90 days and the lawsuit within one year. Missing these deadlines can bar your claim.
How does Missouri comparative fault law affect my case?
Missouri uses pure comparative fault, so you can recover damages even if you are 99 percent at fault. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 30 percent at fault, you receive 70 percent of the damages awarded.
What damages can I recover in a Lake St Louis personal injury case?
You can seek economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. Missouri does not cap most personal injury damages, but medical malpractice claims have a limit of about 450,000 dollars for non-economic damages.
