Genarally, claims for personal injuries arising from an automobile accident carry a five year statute of limitations. You may have other claims you have not thought of and I would be more than happy to assist you. Please feel free to call.

In Mo., the general personal injury limit is 5 yrs; it may be longer for minors and there could be other exceptions which may or may not apply to your situation; w/o more info, it is impossible to tell for certain; also, there may be other claims you have not considered which may have much shorter statutes of limitation, and/or notice requirements and other problems.

The Staute of Limitations in MO is 5years from the date of the injury. You probably don't need to file suit though. An attorney will be able to negotiate a more reasonable settlement,. Feel free to call me for help. 314 725-8000
