Key Information
When pursuing a legal claim in Springfield, it is important to know that cases are typically filed at the Greene County Circuit Court, located at 1010 N Boonville Avenue. Under the Missouri Statute of Limitations, you generally have a five-year window from the date of the accident to file your claim. We believe access to justice should be immediate, which is why our initial consultation fee is always $0.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the deadline to file a car accident lawsuit in Missouri?
You generally have five years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit in Missouri. However, if a city vehicle was involved or if you are filing a wrongful death claim, these timelines are significantly shorter. Starting early is always best to protect your evidence.
How do I pay my medical bills at Mercy Hospital after a wreck?
We work with your medical providers to place a “lien” on your future settlement. This allows you to receive the care you need at facilities like Mercy Hospital Springfield without having to pay the full balance out of pocket while your legal case is still pending.
Will my case go to the Greene County Circuit Court?
Accidents involving commercial vehicles require immediate action to preserve “black box” data and driver logs. These cases are more complex than standard car wrecks, but our team has the specific experience needed to hold large companies and their insurers accountable for your injuries.
What should I do immediately after a crash in Springfield MO?
First, ensure you are safe and call 911 so the Springfield Police can create a report. Take photos of the scene at the intersection, exchange information with the other driver, and seek medical attention immediately. Then, call us before speaking with any insurance adjusters to protect your rights.
