Personal Injury Attorney Ballwin

The statute of limitations, generally speaking, on personal injury cases, excluding medical malpractice, is 5 years in the state of Missouri. However, there are numerous exceptions, and also notice requirements for certain types of injury claims. It is critical that proper legal notice be given to the liable party or parties, usually by an attorney. Timing is a very important aspect of handling a personal injury claim, and waiting too long or not waiting long enough can significantly change the outcome of the claim, and the amount of compensation you will receive. In order to determine whether an exception applies, whether proper legal notice must be promptly given, and whether it is professionally advisable to continue waiting before settling or filing a case, more detail would be needed, because each case is highly unique and the exact facts are very important.
