How Long Do I Have to File a Claim in Missouri?
You must file your injury lawsuit against the negligent party before the statute of limitations expires. In Missouri, the statute of limitations is generally five years, so you have five years from the date you were injured to start the legal process. In cases involving wrongful death, you have three years from the date of the victim’s passing to file a claim on their behalf. If your case involves a government defendant, you usually only have 90 days to pursue a claim. You will be barred from recovering compensation if you miss the applicable deadline, so do not wait to discuss your options with a legal professional.
What Types of Compensation Can I Recover in a Missouri Injury Claim?
In Missouri, compensatory damages are divided into three categories: economic damages, non-economic damages, and punitive damages. Economic damages compensate victims for financial losses that can be easily calculated, while non-economic damages are awarded for intangible consequences. Punitive damages are rare but are intended to punish the defendant beyond what is necessary to compensate the victim and discourage similar behavior in the future. We can help you understand how these distinctions apply to your case and what you can expect to recover.
Our team will fight to obtain full and fair compensation for all of your losses, including:
- Past, current, and future medical expenses
- Lost wages
- Lost earning capacity
- Property damage
- Pain and suffering
- Disfigurement
- Loss of enjoyment of life
