Do I Have a Personal Injury Case?

Not every accident leads to a lawsuit—but if your injury was caused by someone else’s careless or reckless behavior, you may have the right to seek compensation under Missouri law. The key is whether negligence was involved—and that’s where our experience comes in.

At NGK Law Firm, we dig deep to answer questions like:

• Who caused the accident, and were they legally responsible?
• Could the injury have been prevented if someone had taken proper precautions?
• Did safety rules, traffic laws, or industry standards get ignored?
• What physical, emotional, and financial harm did the injury cause?

In legal terms, personal injury claims are built around four pillars:

• Duty of care – The person or company had a legal obligation to act safely (for example, by driving responsibly or maintaining a safe property).
• Breach of duty – They failed to meet that obligation—whether through inattention, recklessness, or violation of a safety standard.
• Causation – Their actions (or inaction) directly led to your injury.
• Damages – You suffered losses, including medical expenses, lost wages, or pain and suffering.

Even if you’re not 100% sure who was at fault—or whether you did anything wrong—Missouri’s comparative fault system allows injury victims to recover compensation as long as someone else contributed to the harm. Your compensation is just reduced by your share of the fault.

Our firm has handled thousands of injury cases, including complex claims with unclear fault or multiple liable parties. We know what to look for, how to uncover hidden evidence, and how to build a strong claim that insurance companies can’t ignore.

What Compensation Can I Recover?

You may be entitled to compensation for both financial and non-financial losses. We work to maximize every dollar available to you, including:

• Medical expenses (emergency care, hospitalization, rehab, ongoing treatment)
• Lost wages and loss of future earning ability
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress and mental anguish
• Disability or disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Property damage
• Wrongful death damages for surviving spouses, children, or parents

Our firm works with top medical and financial experts to ensure your damages are fully documented and pursued.

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 injury to file your lawsuit. But there are exceptions that could shorten that timeline, especially in cases involving government agencies or wrongful death.

• Wrongful death claims must be filed within three years of the date of death
• Government liability claims often involve strict notice requirements and shorter time limits
• Minors and incapacitated individuals may have more time, depending on the circumstances

Missing the deadline means losing your right to compensation. That’s why it’s important to contact a lawyer as soon as possible. We can step in immediately to preserve evidence, meet all deadlines, and protect your claim.

O’Fallon Personal Injury FAQ

How Do I Know If I Have a Strong Personal Injury Case?

If your injury happened because someone else failed to act with reasonable care—whether it was a distracted driver, negligent property owner, or careless employer—you may have a strong case. Our legal team can review the facts and determine where liability lies, even in complex situations.

Can I Still Recover Compensation If I Was Partially at Fault?

Yes. Missouri follows a pure comparative fault rule, which means you can recover damages even if you were partially responsible. Your compensation is simply reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you were 20% at fault, you could still recover 80% of your damages.

Will I Have to Go to Court for My Injury Case in O’Fallon?

Not always. Many cases settle through negotiation or mediation. But if trial becomes necessary, personal injury lawsuits from O’Fallon are generally heard in the St. Charles County Circuit Court, located in nearby St. Charles. NGK Law Firm is well-versed in this court system and fully prepared to present your case at trial.

How Long Will My Personal Injury Case Take?

Some cases settle in a few months; others take a year or more—especially if serious injuries or disputed liability are involved. While every case is different, we work efficiently while never rushing a settlement that doesn’t reflect your full damages. We’ll keep you informed every step of the way.

How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Personal Injury Lawyer?

At NGK Law Firm, you pay nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning our payment comes as a percentage of what we recover for you. If we don’t win your case, you don’t owe us a dime. It’s that simple.
