O'Fallon Personal Injury Lawyers

Car Accidents | Motorcycle Accidents

After a car or motorcycle accident, there are some important issues to consider when deciding whether to bring a lawsuit. The O'Fallon, Missouri injury attorneys of Suddarth & Koor, LLC can explain and discuss the following considerations with you during a consultation:

You may recover compensation even if you were partially at fault for an accident.
Depending on the circumstances of the car accident, you may still be entitled to recover a substantial sum from the other party for their role in the auto accident.

If you were injured as a passenger, you may recover from the insurance company that insured the vehicle that you were riding in, if the driver was at fault.
This is true even if the driver of the vehicle at fault is your parent or other family member. You may also recover from the driver of another vehicle if that driver was at fault.

You may recover compensation for your personal injuries through the uninsured or underinsured motorist provisions of your own automobile insurance policy.
Missouri liability insurance policies must include uninsured motorist coverage. Even if you are injured by an uninsured motorist and do not have an automobile that is insured, but live with a family member who does, you may be able to recover compensation under the uninsured motorist provisions of that family member's policy. If you were a passenger in a friend's car, that friend's uninsured or underinsured motorist insurance may cover you as well.

Missouri statue of limitations regarding claims.
In Missouri, claims for injury resulting from negligence must be filed within five years of the incident. If the injury caused death, the family has only two years to file the claim.
