Taking the right steps can help protect your health, preserve crucial evidence, and ensure you can secure the compensation you deserve.
Steps to take after a car accident in St Louis include:
We understand that if your loved one has suffered severe injuries in a car accident, they may not be able to complete these steps on their own.
In such cases, it’s important for family members or legal representatives to assist with gathering information and seeking legal counsel.
The car accident attorneys at TorHoerman Law are here to support you through this process, ensuring that your loved one’s rights are protected and their case is handled with care while they focus on recovery.
Evidence is the cornerstone of a successful St Louis car accident case.
As mentioned previously, crucial evidence can be gathered at the accident scene, but other types of evidence will be produced after the accident occurred and in the recovery process.
An experienced car accident attorney can help you to gather and retain evidence crucial to your case.
Potential evidence in an auto accident claim may include:
Damages refer to the total amount of losses, economic and non-economic, incurred as a result of a motor vehicle accident and subsequent injuries.
The best car accident lawyers, including those at TorHoerman Law, will thoroughly calculate your losses in order to advocate for maximum compensation.
Possible economic and non-economic damages in car accident claims include:
Seeking immediate medical treatment after a car accident is critical not only for your health but also for the strength of your legal claim.
Timely medical care documents your injuries and establishes a clear connection between the accident and the harm you’ve suffered.
Failure to seek prompt treatment or follow medical advice can be used against you in court, with the liable party’s insurance company arguing that your injuries were not severe or worsened by neglect.
Mitigating your injuries by adhering to prescribed treatments shows that you’ve taken reasonable steps to recover, which can affect the compensation you’re entitled to.
Courts and insurance companies expect victims to act responsibly in managing their injuries to avoid further harm.
Seeking treatment and following through with care strengthens your legal standing and ensures that you’re fully compensated for your losses.
The legal process for Missouri car accident claims involves several key steps, each crucial to securing compensation for your injuries and damages.
Understanding this process can help you navigate your claim more effectively and ensure that you meet all necessary legal requirements.
Missouri follows a comparative fault system, meaning that your compensation may be reduced if you are found partially at fault for the accident.
Working with an experienced attorney can guide you through the legal process of a car accident claim, from gathering evidence to negotiating with insurance companies.
Below is a step-by-step outline of the legal process for car accident claims in Missouri:
The deadline in which you are able to file a St. Louis car accident claim is known as the statute of limitations.
The statute of limitations in the state of Missouri is generally five years from the date of the accident.
This means you must file your lawsuit within this time frame, or you may lose your right to pursue compensation for your injuries and damages.
However, there are potential exemptions that could extend this deadline.
For example, if the injured party is a minor or if the defendant leaves the state of Missouri after the accident, the statute of limitations may be tolled, or paused, until the minor reaches the age of 18 or the defendant returns to the state.
Additionally, in cases where the injury is not immediately discoverable, the statute of limitations may begin from the date the injury is discovered or reasonably should have been discovered.
It is important to consult with an experienced attorney to understand how these rules apply to your specific case and ensure your claim is filed on time.
Car crashes in St. Louis often result in a range of injuries, many of which are caused by drunk driving, distracted driving, and even road rage.
These dangerous behaviors significantly increase the likelihood of severe accidents, such as head-on collisions and T-bone crashes, leading to serious injuries.
Victims of these accidents may experience a variety of injuries, each associated with specific types of collisions.
Whiplash is common in rear-end collisions, while head injuries frequently occur in rollovers and side-impact crashes.
Broken bones and internal injuries are also prevalent, particularly in high-speed accidents where the impact force is greater.
Understanding the common injuries and their causes can help victims seek appropriate medical attention and legal support.

Filing a car accident lawsuit in St. Louis involves several steps, starting with gathering evidence, filing a complaint, and engaging in discovery.
During this process, both parties exchange information and evidence related to the car crash injuries and damages.
Negotiations with the car insurance company often follow, but if a fair settlement isn’t reached, the case may proceed to trial.
Throughout this process, your attorney will handle communications with insurance adjusters and build a strong case on your behalf.
If a loved one dies in a car accident due to another’s negligence, you may be entitled to file a wrongful death claim.
Missouri law allows certain family members to seek compensation for funeral expenses, lost companionship, and other damages.
These claims can be complex, particularly when the car crash involves factors like driving under the influence or a truck accident.
A wrongful death claim can provide financial support and a sense of justice for the family.
The attorneys at TorHoerman Law handle wrongful death cases resulting from St Louis car accidents.

Truck accidents often result in more severe injuries due to the size and weight of the vehicles involved.
If you’re involved in a truck accident in St. Louis, it’s essential to seek legal advice immediately.
Truck accidents often involve multiple potentially liable parties, including the driver, the trucking company, and potentially even the manufacturer of the truck.
An experienced truck accident attorney can handle the proceedings of such cases, ensuring all responsible parties are held accountable.
A car accident attorney can play a crucial role if you’ve suffered severe injuries in a car wreck.
They can help you through the legal process, gather essential evidence, and negotiate with the car insurance company to secure compensation for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
This is especially important in cases involving catastrophic injuries, where the long-term impact on your life requires thorough legal and financial planning.
Missouri follows a comparative fault system, meaning that if you’re partially at fault for a car accident, your compensation may be reduced by your percentage of fault.
For example, if you are found to be 20% at fault for an intersection accident, your compensation would be reduced by 20%.
Even if you’re partially responsible, you can still recover damages, and an experienced car accident attorney can help minimize your percentage of fault in a car accident lawsuit.
If you’re involved in a car crash with an uninsured motorist in St. Louis, your first step should be to file a claim under your own uninsured motorist coverage.
This coverage is designed to protect car accident victims when the at-fault driver lacks insurance.
It’s crucial to document the accident thoroughly and report it to your car insurance company as soon as possible.
In Missouri, uninsured motorist coverage is legally required, so if you have car insurance, you should have this protection.
However, if you don’t have uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, your options for recovering damages may be limited, and you may need to rely on your health insurance or consider legal action against the at-fault driver personally.
It’s essential to consult with a car accident attorney to explore all available options if you’re in this situation.

They helped my elderly uncle receive compensation for the loss of his wife who was administered a dangerous drug. He consulted with this firm because of my personal recommendation and was very pleased with the compassion, attention to detail and response he received. Definitely recommend this firm for their 5 star service.
When I wanted to join the Xarelto class action lawsuit, I chose TorrHoerman Law from a search of a dozen or so law firm websites. I was impressed with the clarity of the information they presented. I gave them a call, and was again impressed, this time with the quality of our interactions.
TorHoerman Law is an awesome firm to represent anyone that has been involved in a case that someone has stated that it's too difficult to win. The entire firm makes you feel like you’re part of the family, Tor, Eric, Jake, Kristie, Chad, Tyler, Kathy and Steven are the best at what they do.
