Compensation You May Be Owed

If we find that someone else caused your injuries and subsequent suffering, the at-fault party may be held liable to compensate you. Missouri law allows for those injured in accidents to receive compensation in the form of damages. You may be compensated for three types of damages: economic, noneconomic, and punitive.

Economic damages cover the calculable costs that you’ve incurred as a result of the accident that caused your injuries. Included in economic damages are reimbursement for medical costs you incurred for the treatment of your injuries. Depending on your injuries, you may require ongoing medical treatment and rehabilitation or prescription medication, the costs of which can be exorbitant. You may receive economic damages for your future medical costs as well. Economic damages also cover your lost wages for the time you’ve had to take away from work to recover from your injuries. You may also be compensated for estimated future lost wages or for any negative impact on your future earning ability due to your injuries.

Noneconomic damages are more subjective and are based on the emotional and mental impact the accident and/or your injuries have had on you and your life. You may receive noneconomic damages for the pain, suffering, and mental anguish you’ve suffered while recovering from your injuries. If you are no longer able to engage in activities you once enjoyed, you may be compensated for this loss. If your personal and familial relationships have been temporarily or permanently affected by your recovery from your injuries, you may receive noneconomic damages for that, too (known as loss of consortium).

Punitive damages are intended to punish the person who caused your injuries. These damages are only awarded by a judge or jury. Such an award is rare, as you must prove, with “clear and convincing evidence,” that the person who injured you intended to do so “without just cause” or intentionally acted recklessly.

What You Should Know

There are a few other details you’ll need to keep in mind about how the process of pursuing a claim or lawsuit for compensation works.

Statute of Limitations

After you’ve been injured in an accident, there is a period of time within which you must file a lawsuit against the party that you believe caused your injuries. This is known as the statute of limitations. Each state has its own statute of limitations laws, and they often vary depending on the crime or cause of action. In Missouri, if you intend to file a personal injury lawsuit, you must file it within five years from the date of the accident that caused your injuries.
