Missouri Regulations for Pursuing a Personal Injury Claim
If you have been injured in an accident in Missouri, you must follow strict legal requirements to file a claim. Outlined under Missouri Revised Statutes 516.120, you have five years from the date of your injury to file a claim for a car accident, slip and fall, or other accident stemming from general negligence.
The statute of limitations is shorter for wrongful death claims, giving you only a three-year window to file. If your claim involves a government agency (i.e., city, county, or state), you must file a claim within 90 days. If you don't file within these periods, you may not be able to recover any compensation.
Missouri follows a pure comparative negligence system for recovering compensation. This means that you can still recover damages from an accident even if you were 99% at fault. However, the amount of compensation you can recover will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Additionally, Missouri is considered a tort state. This means the state holds the at-fault party financially responsible for the accident, and injured victims have the right to pursue compensation against the at-fault party’s insurance.
If you have been injured in an accident, our experienced Missouri personal injury attorney has over 18 years of experience helping injury victims pursue the compensation they need for their recovery. Reach out to us today to schedule a free consultation.
