Workers who suffer an injury on the job may face challenges when pre-existing conditions become part of the discussion. Employers or insurance companies may argue that a prior injury or medical condition caused the current problem. To secure workers’ compensation benefits, it is important to prove that a pre-existing condition did not cause the work-related …
When a workplace injury leads to permanent disability, you deserve suitable compensation. However, proving a permanent disability requires strong evidence and careful documentation.

Generally 5 years from the date of the crash to file a personal injury lawsuit in Missouri (RSMo §516.120). Illinois is much shorter — generally 2 years. Because evidence and witness memories fade fast, do not wait on either deadline.
In Missouri you can still recover: Missouri follows pure comparative fault, so your compensation is reduced by your percentage of fault but never barred by it. Illinois is different — if you are more than 50% at fault there, you cannot recover. Do not admit fault to an insurer before getting advice.
Call 911 and get medical care first, even if you feel fine — some injuries show up days later. Exchange insurance information, photograph the vehicles, the scene, and your injuries, and get witness names. Report the crash, then talk to a lawyer before giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer.
Often, yes. Missouri requires auto policies to include uninsured-motorist coverage, so your own policy may pay when the at-fault driver has none. Hit-and-run crashes are handled the same way — which is why reporting the crash to police promptly matters.
The initial consultation is free. Call 314-207-3110 to have a lawyer review what happened before you accept any settlement — once you sign an insurer’s release, you generally cannot reopen the claim.
