Critical Missouri Traffic Laws and Deadlines
In Wentzville and throughout St. Charles County, your injury claim is governed by specific state statutes.
Missing a deadline or failing to report a crash can jeopardize your ability to recover any compensation at all.
- Statute of Limitations: Under Missouri law, you generally have five years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, if your accident involves a government vehicle or a fatality, these deadlines are significantly shorter.
- Reporting the Accident: According to RSMo Section 300.110, you must give notice to the local police department as soon as possible if a collision results in injury, death, or property damage exceeding $500.
- Pure Comparative Fault: Missouri follows a “pure comparative fault” system under RSMo Section 537.765. This means you can still recover damages even if you were partially responsible for the accident, though your settlement will be reduced by your percentage of fault.
Recovering Maximum Damages for Your Injuries
The impact of a car accident is rarely just physical. We work with medical experts and economic analysts to calculate the full value of your damages, which include:
- Economic Damages: Tangible costs like emergency room bills, ongoing physical therapy, and the income you lost while unable to work.
- Non-Economic Damages: Intangible losses such as physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
