Car Accidents in Missouri
Each year, tens of thousands of people in Missouri suffer injuries in car accidents, often facing serious consequences such as head trauma, internal organ damage, and broken bones. These injuries can have a lasting effect on a person’s health, financial stability, and overall well-being. When you experience such a life-altering event, it is important to know that you have the right to pursue a personal injury claim to seek compensation for the losses you have suffered.
In Missouri, the process of recovering compensation after a car accident is influenced by the state’s pure comparative negligence rule. This legal principle allows injured parties to seek compensation even if they are partially responsible for the accident. Under this rule, compensation is adjusted according to the percentage of fault assigned to each party involved in the crash. For example, if an injured person is determined to be 99% at fault, they may still be entitled to recover damages for the remaining 1% of their losses.
