Missouri car accident
Were you injured in a Missouri car accident that wasn't your fault?
Find out what your case may be worth — and whether you have one worth pursuing.
Free & confidential · No obligation
This is for you if:
- You were injured in the crash
- You were not at fault (or not mostly at fault)
- It happened recently — the last 30 days is strongest
- Your vehicle was damaged, undrivable, or totaled
- You're not already represented by an attorney
If that's you, you may have a real case. If not, we'll tell you straight.
Partly at fault?
Even if you were partly at fault, Missouri follows a pure comparative fault rule — you can still recover compensation, reduced only by your share of fault, and barred only if you were 100% at fault.
How long do you have?
Missouri gives you up to five years to file — longer than most states. But waiting isn't free: evidence fades and memories blur. The sooner an attorney reviews your case, the stronger it can be.

Common questions
Do I need a lawyer if the accident wasn't my fault?
Not always — but if you were injured, talking to a licensed attorney can help you understand your options before dealing with insurance. A free case review costs nothing and carries no obligation.
How long do I have to file after a car accident in Missouri?
Missouri generally gives you up to five years from the date of the accident to file — longer than most states. But evidence and memories fade, so it's worth reviewing your situation sooner rather than later.
What if I was partly at fault?
Missouri follows a pure comparative fault rule. You may still be able to recover compensation reduced by your share of fault, and you're only barred if you were 100% at fault.
Is the case review really free?
Yes. Requesting a case review through Valiant Advocates is free and comes with no obligation. We connect you with an independent, licensed attorney who reviews your situation at no cost to you.
Do I have to go to court?
Not necessarily. Many car accident claims are resolved through negotiation with insurers without going to court. A licensed attorney can explain what to expect for your specific situation.
What happens after I submit my information?
We review whether you have a qualifying case. If you do, an independent law firm we connect you with may reach out to discuss your situation — at no cost and with no obligation.
