The Nexus Legal Group fights for your rights statewide with a no-fee guarantee.
In Missouri, the statute of limitations for personal injury claims related to truck accidents is five years from the date of the accident. It is essential to file your claim within this time frame to ensure your rights are upheld.
Missouri follows a modified comparative fault rule, meaning if you are found to be partially at fault for the accident, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault. However, you can recover damages as long as you are less than 51% at fault.
Following a truck accident, ensure your safety and the safety of others first. Contact the police and seek medical attention for injuries. Document the scene and gather information from the truck driver and witnesses, which will aid in your case.
Trucking companies are required by federal law to maintain specific insurance coverage levels based on their cargo and vehicle size. Understanding the nuances of their insurance policies is crucial for maximizing your compensation following an accident.
In Missouri, you can recover economic damages such as medical expenses, lost wages, and property damage, as well as non-economic damages for pain and suffering. It's important to thoroughly document your losses to support your claim for compensation.
