Free case review questions
Plain talk on the questions people ask before they send in a crash.
Get My Free Case CheckFree. No obligation. Takes about 2 minutes.
Most people who reach this page have one wreck and a handful of practical questions, not a legal background. Five of the ones that come up most, in plain words, sit below, without the jargon an insurance adjuster might lean on.
None of this locks you into anything. Reading through these questions, or submitting a case for review, doesn’t create an attorney-client relationship on its own, and it doesn’t cost anything either way.
For more on what usually happens after a wreck, from the first police report through a final number, the guides section goes into more depth than a short read allows. The about page has the fuller picture of how this site works.
Common questions
What does the case review cost?
Nothing goes toward reviewing your case, and no bill shows up afterward for asking. If an attorney takes the case on, that arrangement gets explained separately before anything moves forward.
Who actually reviews what I send in?
A separately practicing Missouri lawyer looks at what you send. This site has no attorneys of its own; it routes your case to one who does.
How long do I have to bring a claim?
Missouri gives most crash victims five years from the wreck to file suit. Wrongful death claims run on a shorter, three-year clock, so that distinction matters if the crash was fatal.
I was partly at fault. Does that rule me out?
Not on its own. Missouri lets a driver recover for their own share of the loss even when they carry some of the blame, so a partial fault finding lowers a number rather than closing the door.
What should I include when I submit my case?
The basics are enough to start: roughly when and where the crash happened, who else was involved, and what injuries came out of it. More detail can follow later if an attorney takes the case.
