St. Louis Car Accident Attorneys

Fighting for Victims of Motor Vehicle Accidents

Being involved in a car or truck accident is a frightening experience, leaving you with anxiety and injuries. In addition to the emotional pain that an accident causes, there will be a lasting financial burden on those involved in the form of medical payments and lost wages. Serving St. Louis County, STL Law Group has years of experience helping victims of motor vehicle accidents get the compensation they need.

How Much Money Can I Recover?

The state of Missouri uses a pure comparative fault system, meaning that damages are awarded based on the percentage of fault. Therefore, determining fault is the area that attorneys really focus on, using every available resource to prove that the other driver was at fault for the accident. Since a percentage is used to express fault, both drivers can have shared responsibility for the accident. Generally speaking, the less at-fault you are, the more money in damages you will be owed. Our St. Louis personal injury attorneys can help collect all the facts, including police reports and driver information, to help build a strong case for you.

When calculating damages, the courts consider the following factors:

• The cost of medical expenses, both past and future
• Any lost wages due to injuries
• Loss of future earning capacity
• Total property damage, including the car, property inside the vehicle, and home
• Physical and emotional pain, including mental suffering
