how long to refile after dismissal without prejudice
In Missouri (each state has its own statute of limitations), the limitations period for a personal injury matter appears to be 5 years. That means that, in the case of dismissal without prejudice, the would-be plaintiff may refile the action at any time up to 5 years from the date of the event or injury giving rise to his or her claim. All that matters is the statute of limitations; there are no additional time periods or restrictions measured from when the dismissal was granted.
