How long do I have to file a rideshare accident lawsuit in Missouri?

In Missouri, you generally have five years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim (per Missouri Revised Statutes § 516.120). For wrongful death, the timeline is shorter, three years from the date of the person’s death.

However, if the at-fault party was a government employee or city vehicle, special notice rules and shorter deadlines may apply. It’s recommended to speak with a St. Louis accident attorney as soon as possible to confirm your deadline and begin building your case before valuable evidence is lost.
