What Does a Personal Injury Lawyer in Independence Cost?

Most personal injury lawyers in Missouri work on a contingency fee basis. This means they take a percentage of your settlement or court award typically ranging from 33 percent to 40 percent. You usually pay no upfront fees and only pay if you win your case. Costs for expert witnesses and court filings may be separate. This is general information and not legal advice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the statute of limitations for personal injury in Missouri?
In Missouri you generally have five years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit. This time limit applies to most personal injury cases including car accidents and slip and falls. If you miss this deadline you may lose your right to seek compensation.
How do I know if I have a valid personal injury case in Independence?
You likely have a valid case if someone else acted negligently and that negligence caused your injury. You must also have suffered actual damages such as medical bills or lost wages. A local lawyer can review your situation to determine if you meet these requirements.
