Frequently Asked Questions

What is the time limit to file a car accident lawsuit in Missouri?
Missouri has a statute of limitations of five years from the date of the accident for personal injury claims. If you miss this deadline, you may lose your right to sue. It is important to act promptly to preserve evidence and your legal options.
Does Missouri use a comparative fault rule for car accidents?
Yes, Missouri follows a pure comparative fault rule. This means you can recover damages even if you are partially at fault, but your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are 20 percent at fault, you receive 80 percent of the damages.
What damages can I recover in a Clayton car accident case?
You may recover economic damages like medical bills and lost wages, and non-economic damages like pain and suffering. Missouri does not cap most damages in car accident cases, but there are limits for punitive damages. A lawyer can explain what applies to your situation.
