Chillicothe Personal Injury FAQs
Missouri follows a pure comparative fault rule, so you can still recover compensation even if you were partly to blame. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault, not eliminated.
Most injury claims settle out of court, but having an attorney prepared to try your case often leads to better settlement offers. If trial is necessary, your lawyer handles it.
Missouri's statute of limitations is generally five years from the date of injury, with shorter deadlines for wrongful death and for claims against a government entity. Act quickly so evidence can be preserved.
It depends on your medical costs, lost income, the severity and permanence of your injuries, and available insurance. A free case review is the best way to understand your claim's potential value.
