Missouri Injury Law: What You Should Know
Missouri's rules differ from other states in ways that can make or break a claim. A few that matter most:
- Five-year deadline to file. Missouri generally gives injury victims five years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury lawsuit (RSMo § 516.120) — longer than many states, but waiting still costs you evidence and leverage.
- Pure comparative fault. Missouri follows a pure comparative fault rule, meaning you can recover damages even if you were partly at fault — your award is simply reduced by your percentage of responsibility.
- Shorter deadlines for some claims. Wrongful death claims generally must be filed within three years (RSMo § 537.100), and medical malpractice claims within two years (RSMo § 516.105). These are strict.
- Damage recovery. Injured Missourians may pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, future care, and pain and suffering.
Every case is different, and these timelines have exceptions. The surest way to protect your claim is to speak with a Missouri injury attorney as soon as possible.
