St. Louis Wrongful Death Lawyers FAQS

What qualifies as a wrongful death case?

A wrongful death case arises when someone’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional actions cause the death of another person. This can happen in car accidents, workplace incidents, medical malpractice, defective product cases, and more. If your loved one’s death was preventable and caused by another party’s wrongdoing, you may have a wrongful death claim.

How long do I have to file a wrongful death claim in Missouri?

Missouri law allows up to three years from the date of death to file a wrongful death lawsuit. If you miss this deadline, you may lose the right to pursue compensation. It’s best to contact us as soon as possible to protect your case.

What if my loved one was partially at fault for their accident?

Missouri follows a comparative fault system, meaning you may still recover damages even if your loved one was partially responsible for the accident. However, their percentage of fault may reduce the final settlement. Our attorneys will fight to minimize any blame placed on your loved one and maximize your recovery.

Will I have to go to court for a wrongful death case?

Many wrongful death cases settle out of court through negotiations with insurance companies. However, if the responsible party refuses to offer fair compensation, we are fully prepared to take your case to trial and fight for the justice your family deserves.

How long does a wrongful death case take?

Every case is different, but most wrongful death claims take several months to a few years to resolve. The timeline depends on factors like the complexity of the case, insurance company negotiations, and whether a trial is necessary. We will keep you informed every step of the way.

What if the responsible party is also facing criminal charges?

A wrongful death lawsuit is a civil case, separate from any criminal charges the responsible party may face. Regardless of whether they are convicted in criminal court, we can still pursue a wrongful death claim to recover financial damages for your family.
