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 unsure who was at fault or whether you share any responsibility, Missouri’s pure comparative fault rule allows you to recover compensation as long as someone else contributed to your injury. Your recovery would simply be reduced by your share of the fault.

At NGK Law Firm, we investigate every angle, determine what your case is truly worth, and fight to secure the maximum recovery possible.

What Compensation Can I Recover?

If your case is successful, you may be entitled to financial compensation for both economic and non-economic losses. 

This can include:

• Medical expenses (past and future)
• Lost wages and reduced future earning ability
• Pain and suffering
• Emotional distress
• Permanent disability or disfigurement
• Loss of enjoyment of life
• Property damage
• Wrongful death benefits for surviving family members

We work with medical experts, life care planners, and financial professionals to calculate the full extent of your losses—so you don’t settle for less than you deserve.

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.

St. Peters Personal Injury FAQ

How Do I Know If I Have a Strong Case?

If you were injured because someone else acted carelessly, you may have a case. Even if you’re unsure who was at fault or whether you did anything wrong, Missouri law allows injury victims to pursue compensation as long as someone else shares responsibility. We can evaluate your situation in a free consultation.

How Much Is My Personal Injury Case Worth?

It depends on the facts. We consider the severity of your injuries, your medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and how the injury affects your life long-term. We use expert evaluations to make sure you aren’t shortchanged.

Do I Have to Go to Court in a St. Peters Injury Case?

Not always. Most cases are resolved through settlement, but if trial becomes necessary, personal injury cases from St. Peters are typically handled in the St. Charles County Circuit Court, located just a few miles away in St. Charles. Our attorneys are experienced litigators who know the local courts and are always ready to present your case before a judge or jury if needed.
