Understanding Missouri Car Accident Laws
Missouri’s legal landscape for accident victims requires an attorney who stays current on legislative changes and specific state statutes that dictate your right to recovery.
Whether your case is settled through insurance negotiations or proceeds to the Johnson County Circuit Court, understanding local procedural rules is essential.
- Statute of Limitations: As of 2026, Missouri Revised Statutes section 516.120 generally allows five years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit. However, there are ongoing legislative discussions regarding shortening this window. Acting quickly ensures your claim remains valid under current Missouri Revised Statutes.
- Mandatory Accident Reporting: Under Missouri Revised Statutes section 300.110, you must immediately notify the local police department or Missouri State Highway Patrol if a collision results in injury, death, or property damage exceeding $500.
- Pure Comparative Fault: Missouri follows a pure comparative fault system under Missouri Revised Statutes section 537.765. This system allows victims to recover compensation even if they were partially at fault for the accident, with the final award being reduced by their specific percentage of responsibility.
Compensation Under Missouri Law
The true cost of a car accident often extends far beyond the initial hospital visit.
We work to calculate the full scope of your “damages,” a legal term for your losses as defined in Missouri Revised Statutes section 537.033:
- Economic Damages: Tangible costs like emergency medical care, future surgeries, physical therapy, and lost wages.
- Non-Economic Damages: Compensation for intangible losses such as physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life.
