St. Louis personal injury laws
Liability
Liability refers to the person at fault. If your injury was the result of a car accident, then liability falls on the driver at fault. If you were injured from a slip or fall, then the person or company who owns the property where the accident occurred is liable. Whatever the case may be, when an individual or company is legally found to be liable for your personal injury, as an experienced injury attorney in St. Louis knows, personal injury laws in Missouri dictate that that party may then be responsible for compensating you.
Damages
Damages from an injury can include physical and emotional stress caused by the accident as well as any monetary consequences that you, the victim, incur. A St. Louis personal injury law firm knows that the extent of your damages determines how much your claim is worth. The person or company who injured you may be held responsible for the following damages:
- Any past, present or future medical bills related to the injury
- Any wages lost due to the injury causing you to miss work
- Property damage
- Permanent disabilities from the injury including disfigurement
- Emotional distress caused by the accident or injury, including depression, stress, or strains on personal relationships
- Any other financial strains caused by the accident or injury
Statute of limitations
Missouri personal injury law states that a victim of a personal injury must file a personal injury lawsuit against the party who injured him or her within five years of the incident.
