St Louis County Injury Courts & Deadlines

Missouri’s five-year statute for most negligence claims offers time, but early action secures crash-scene evidence and medical records that strengthen settlement value. We handle everything from accident reconstruction to jury trial.
FAQs
How long does a St Louis County slip-and-fall claim usually take?
Straightforward cases resolve in 6–10 months; complex liability or severe injuries can extend past a year.
What damages can I recover for pain & suffering in Missouri?
Missouri allows compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life, with no caps in most negligence cases.
What should I do immediately after a car accident in St Louis County?
First, seek medical attention—even if you feel fine. Then, report the crash to police, document the scene with photos, and exchange information with other drivers. Before speaking to the insurance company, contact a crash lawyer to protect your rights and begin building your case..
What if the at-fault driver carries only minimum insurance?
We stack policies, tap underinsured-motorist coverage, and, if needed, file against personal assets to cover full losses.
Will a prior injury reduce my settlement?
Not automatically. Missouri’s eggshell-skull rule lets you recover for aggravated pre-existing conditions caused by the new accident.
