Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?

If you were injured and someone else was at fault—even partially—you may have a valid personal injury claim under Missouri law. The key question is whether another party’s careless, reckless, or unlawful actions caused or contributed to your injuries.

To build a successful case, we look at four core elements:

• Duty of Care – The at-fault party had a legal responsibility to act with reasonable care (e.g., a driver obeying traffic laws, a property owner maintaining safe conditions).
• Breach of Duty – They failed to meet that responsibility through negligence, inaction, or misconduct.
• Causation – Their actions (or failure to act) directly led to your injuries.
• Damages – You suffered harm—such as medical expenses, lost income, pain, or emotional distress—as a result.

Even if you’re not sure who was at fault or whether you share any responsibility, it’s worth speaking with an attorney. Missouri follows a pure comparative fault system, which means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially to blame—your award is simply reduced by your percentage of fault.

At NGK Law Firm, we dig deep into the facts. We investigate what happened, gather the evidence, and determine the full scope of your damages. If there’s a path to compensation, we’ll find it—and fight for what you’re owed.

What Compensation Can I Recover?

Personal injury compensation (or "damages") is meant to help make you whole after an accident. If your case is successful, you may be entitled to compensation for:

• Medical bills (past and future)
• Lost wages and loss of future earning potential
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Property damage
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Wrongful death damages (for surviving family members)

The value of your case depends on many factors, including the severity of your injuries, how long your recovery will take, and the insurance coverage available. Our firm has the resources and legal insight to calculate the full value of your claim and fight for every dollar you’re owed.

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Personal Injury Lawsuit?

In Missouri, most personal injury lawsuits are subject to a five-year statute of limitations. That means you generally have five years from the date of the injury to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party.

That might seem like a long time, but waiting too long can seriously hurt your case. Evidence can disappear. Witness memories fade. And if you miss the deadline, your right to compensation may be lost for good—no matter how strong your case is.

There are a few exceptions that can shorten or extend the deadline:

• Wrongful death claims must be filed within three years of the date of death.
• Claims against a government entity often have special notice requirements and shorter deadlines—sometimes as little as 90 days.
• In limited situations, the clock may pause (or “toll”), such as when the injured person is a minor or mentally incapacitated.

Because every case is different, the best way to protect your rights is to speak with an attorney as soon as possible. At NGK Law Firm, we act quickly to preserve evidence and file within the proper time limits, so you don’t lose your chance at justice.
