Questions

or fill out our consultation form. We are happy to help.
What does it cost to hire a personal injury attorney?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay no attorney fees unless we recover compensation for you. The initial consultation is always free.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Missouri?
In Missouri, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is five years from the date of the injury. However, there are exceptions that can shorten this window, so it is important to speak with an attorney as soon as possible after your accident.
What should I do immediately after an accident?
Seek medical attention first, even if you feel fine. Document the scene with photos if possible. Get the other party's information and contact details for any witnesses. Do not give a recorded statement to the other driver's insurance company before speaking with an attorney.
How long does a personal injury case take?
Every case is different. Some cases settle in a few months, while others may take a year or longer, especially if a lawsuit is filed. Ed and Phil will give you an honest timeline based on the specifics of your situation during your free consultation.
Will my case go to trial?
Most personal injury cases settle out of court. However, Ed and Phil have tried over 300 jury trials, and insurance companies know this. Having attorneys who are willing and prepared to go to trial often results in higher settlement offers.
What if I was partially at fault for my accident?
Missouri follows a pure comparative fault rule. This means you can still recover compensation even if you were partially at fault. Your recovery amount is reduced by your percentage of fault. For example, if you are found 20% at fault, you can still recover 80% of your damages.
