Do I Have a Case?
Not sure if your situation rises to the level of a legal claim? That’s exactly what we’re here to help you figure out. To file a successful personal injury claim in Missouri, we typically need to prove four key elements:
- Duty of care – The at-fault party had a legal responsibility to act reasonably and avoid causing harm (e.g., a driver obeying traffic laws, a property owner maintaining safe premises).
- Breach of duty – They failed to uphold that duty through negligence, recklessness, or inaction.
- Causation – Their conduct directly caused or contributed to your injuries.
- Damages – You suffered measurable losses—medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, or other harm.
Missouri follows a pure comparative fault system. This means even if you were partially to blame, you can still recover compensation—as long as someone else was also responsible.
At NGK Law Firm, we leave no stone unturned. We gather evidence, reconstruct events, interview witnesses, and work with medical and accident experts to build a rock-solid case. When we take your case, it’s because we believe in it—and we’re prepared to see it through.
What Can I Recover in a Personal Injury Lawsuit?
If your claim is successful, you may be entitled to economic and non-economic damages designed to help you recover physically, financially, and emotionally.
Common forms of compensation include:
- Medical expenses – including ER visits, surgeries, rehab, physical therapy, and long-term care
- Lost wages – including time off work and future income loss
- Pain and suffering – for physical pain, emotional trauma, and mental distress
- Loss of enjoyment of life – for hobbies, relationships, or activities you can no longer enjoy
- Disability or disfigurement
- Property damage
- Wrongful death damages – including funeral expenses and loss of companionship for surviving family
How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit in St. Charles?
Missouri law gives most injury victims five years from the date of the injury to file a personal injury lawsuit. This deadline is known as the statute of limitations.
That said, certain types of cases have shorter timelines:
- Wrongful death claims must be filed within three years of the date of death
- Claims involving government agencies may require notice within 90 days
- Minors or incapacitated individuals may have extended timelines under specific conditions
If you miss the deadline, your case will likely be dismissed—regardless of how strong your evidence is. That’s why it’s critical to contact a lawyer sooner rather than later. We can step in right away to preserve your rights and begin building your case.

St. Charles Personal Injury FAQ
What If the Insurance Company Already Offered Me a Settlement?
Be cautious. Insurance companies often make lowball offers early in the process to limit their liability. Once you accept, you usually can’t reopen the claim—even if your injuries turn out to be more serious than you thought. Before signing anything, have our attorneys review the offer. We’ll let you know if it’s fair—or if you’re entitled to significantly more.
How Do I Prove the Other Party Was at Fault?
We use every tool available—police reports, surveillance footage, witness interviews, accident reconstruction, expert testimony, and more. Our firm builds strong, evidence-based cases designed to prove exactly how the other party’s negligence caused your injury.
What Happens If My Case Goes to Court in St. Charles?
If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we may take your case to the St. Charles County Circuit Court, located right in the heart of St. Charles. Our attorneys are familiar with this courthouse, its procedures, and its judges. We come prepared—with trial-tested strategies and the experience to advocate confidently in front of a jury.
Can I Recover Compensation for Future Medical Costs?
Yes. In addition to current expenses, you may be entitled to compensation for future medical needs like surgeries, therapy, medication, assistive devices, or long-term care. We work with medical experts to estimate future costs and ensure they’re fully factored into your claim.
What If I Was Hurt While Visiting St. Charles From Out of Town?
You can still file a claim in Missouri. Injury cases are usually filed in the jurisdiction where the accident occurred. If you were visiting St. Charles and were hurt in a car crash, slip and fall, or other incident, we can represent you—even if you live elsewhere.
