The Dixon Injury Firm took on my case (out of state) after I had been struggling with the insurance companies for over a year. Chris called or emailed me with updates quickly. The Dixon Injury Firm got to work immediately and settled 2 cases. They worked hard to get me maximum settlements and succeeded. I would recommend them to anyone who is looking to receive top results.

What to Do After an Injury in St. Louis
Immediate Steps to Protect Your Rights

Get Medical Attention Immediately
Your health comes first. Seek medical care even if you think your injuries are minor. Some injuries, like concussions or internal bleeding, may not show symptoms immediately.
2
Document Everything
- Take photos of the accident scene, your injuries, and property damage
- Get contact information from witnesses
- Keep all medical records and bills
- Don't sign anything except police reports

Understanding Your Rights Under Missouri Law
Missouri Personal Injury Laws Work in Your Favor
Five-Year Statute of Limitations
Missouri gives you five years to file a personal injury lawsuit-one of the longest timeframes in the United States. This allows time for your injuries to fully develop and for a complete case investigation.
Pure Comparative Fault
Even if you were partially at fault for an accident, you can still recover compensation. Your award is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you’re never completely barred from recovery.
No Damage Caps
Unlike many states, Missouri doesn’t cap pain and suffering damages in most personal injury cases, allowing full compensation for your losses.
Dog Bite Strict Liability
Missouri holds dog owners strictly liable for injuries their pets cause, making it easier to recover compensation.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to hire a personal injury lawyer?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay attorney fees only if we win your case. This allows everyone access to quality legal representation regardless of their financial situation.
How long do I have to file a claim in Missouri?
Generally, you have five years from the date of injury to file a personal injury lawsuit in Missouri. However, some cases have shorter deadlines, so it’s important to contact us as soon as possible.
What if the other party doesn't have insurance?
We explore all sources of compensation, including your own uninsured motorist coverage, umbrella policies, and the at-fault party’s personal assets. Many cases have multiple potential sources of recovery.
Should I accept the insurance company's first offer?
Almost never. Initial offers are typically far below fair value. Insurance companies expect negotiation and often have authority to pay much more than their first offer.
How long will my case take?
Every case is different, but most personal injury cases resolve within 6-18 months. Complex cases involving severe injuries may take longer to ensure you receive full compensation.
What percentage do personal injury lawyers take?
We work on a contingency fee structure, typically one-third of any settlement or verdict. You pay no attorney fees unless we win your case, and all costs are discussed transparently upfront.
How long do most personal injury cases take to settle?
Simple cases may resolve in 6-8 months, while complex cases involving severe injuries can take 12-24 months. We never rush settlements-your full recovery and maximum compensation are our priorities.
What's the most challenging part of proving my injury case?
Establishing clear liability and demonstrating the full extent of your damages. That’s why we work with accident reconstruction experts, medical specialists, and economic analysts to build comprehensive cases.
What if I was partially at fault for the accident?
Missouri’s comparative fault law allows you to recover damages even if you were partially responsible. Your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault, but you can still recover substantial damages.
