It’s never too soon to consult with an experienced personal injury lawyer. If you or a loved one have sustained an injury due to another party’s negligence, contact Langdon & Emison. Under Missouri Code §516.120, the statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is five years.
However, we advise our clients to contact us quickly after an accident so we can file the claim on their behalf as soon as possible. If you fail to file your lawsuit outside of the five years, it’s unlikely that the court will hear your case at all and you will lose your chance to recover damages needed to cover your injury-related losses.
