A Missouri auto accident lawyer helps Missourians who were severely injured in a car crash seek financial compensation. Auto accidents are the leading accidental killer of Americans ages 3 to 33, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In 2005, Missouri saw 21.65 traffic deaths for every 100,000 people, outpacing the national average of 14.66 per 100,000 people in the general population. When accident victims live, they may sustain very serious injuries, including multiple fractures, severe burns, brain damage, spinal problems and other catastrophic injuries. The effect can be catastrophic for victims and their loved ones, who must relean daily life and often must compensate for a lost income.

Do I Need a Missouri Auto Accident Lawyer?

Not all Missourians who had a car accident will need a Missouri auto accident lawyer. But those involved in accidents that caused a death, a serious injury or a significant amount of property damage should at least speak with a Missouri auto accident lawyer. A Missouri auto accident lawyer can help clients be reimbursed for the financial costs of their accidents, which can be quite steep: hospital stays, car repair, lost wages from missing work, physical therapy and other costs. A Missouri auto accident lawyer may also be able to secure compensation for non-financial costs the accident caused, like lost quality of life from a permanent disability, disfiguring scars or a loved one gone forever. A good Missouri auto accident lawyer can give you guidance about which damages apply in your case.
