⚖️ Missouri Personal Injury Law Guide

If you were injured in Missouri (in cities like Kansas City, St. Louis, Springfield, Columbia), your claim is governed by local statutes and fault rules:

  • Statute of Limitations: You have 5 years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim in court.
  • Shared Fault System: Missouri uses the Pure Comparative Negligence standard. Missouri is a pure comparative negligence state. Payouts are reduced proportionally based on your level of fault, regardless of how high it is.
  • Damage Caps: Missouri does not cap compensatory damages for general personal injury lawsuits. Medical malpractice non-economic damages are capped at around $450,000 (or $800,000 for catastrophic cases).
