FAQs
What is personal injury law, and how does it protect me?
Personal injury law—also known as torts and personal injury law—allows individuals to recover compensation when harmed due to another person or entity’s negligence or intentional act. Whether it’s a car accident, medical malpractice, or wrongful death, this area of law ensures injured people can seek justice and financial recovery.
What types of personal injury cases does Lake Munro handle?
We represent clients across a full range of personal injury claims, including:
- Motorcycle Accidents
- Car Accidents
- Dog Bites
- Slip & Fall
- Nursing Home Neglect & Abuse
Our firm is trusted across Missouri and Illinois for results-driven, compassionate advocacy.
How do I know if I have a valid personal injury case?
If you suffered medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering due to someone else’s carelessness, you may have a claim. We’ll evaluate your situation and determine whether legal action is appropriate.
What kind of compensation can I recover?
Damages in personal injury lawsuits can include:
- Past and future medical bills
- Lost wages or future earning potential
- Pain and suffering
- Property damages
- Funeral costs in fatal accident cases
- Punitive damages (in certain cases)
How long do I have to file a personal injury lawsuit in Missouri or Illinois?
Both states have statutes of limitations that typically range from two to five years depending on the type of case. It’s critical to file a lawsuit before the deadline, or you may lose the right to recover.
Can I still recover damages if I was partly at fault?
Yes. Missouri follows a pure comparative fault rule, meaning your recovery is reduced by your percentage of fault. Illinois follows a modified version, barring recovery only if you're more than 50% at fault.
How does Lake Munro stand out from other law firms?
We take pride in being one of the most client-focused personal injury law firms serving Missouri and Illinois. Unlike some of the largest personal injury law firms that treat clients like numbers, we deliver hands-on, responsive service from start to finish. Our personal injury law firm reviews reflect this commitment.
Do I need an attorney for a personal injury claim?
Yes. Insurance companies often try to minimize payouts or deny claims outright. With one of the top personal injury law teams in the region on your side, you’ll have skilled negotiators and litigators fighting to level the playing field.
How does your firm handle legal fees?
We operate on a contingency-fee basis. That means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. Initial consultations are always free.
Does Lake Munro handle immigration or other legal matters?
We do not practice immigration law. However, we do provide strong representation in estate planning, criminal defense, and family law. Our goal is to serve as a trusted legal partner across the major areas that affect your life and future.
