Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do immediately after a car accident in St. Louis?
Call 911 if anyone is injured, then contact the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department to file a report. Seek medical attention even for minor injuries, as some symptoms may not appear immediately. Take photos of the scene, exchange insurance information, and avoid admitting fault to anyone at the scene.
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Missouri?
Missouri has a five-year statute of limitations for most personal injury cases, starting from the date of injury. However, medical malpractice cases have a two-year limit, and claims against government entities may have much shorter deadlines. It's important to consult with an attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
How do I choose the right personal injury attorney in St. Louis?
Look for attorneys with specific experience in cases similar to yours and a track record of successful outcomes in St. Louis courts. Consider their reputation among local judges and peers, their willingness to take cases to trial, and whether they work on a contingency fee basis. Most reputable personal injury attorneys offer free consultations to discuss your case.
