In Missouri, the deadline for filing a car accident claim is typically five years from the date of the accident. This is known as the statute of limitations, and if you do not resolve your claim or properly file suit within this time frame, you may be barred from recovering compensation in the future. In a wrongful death claim, the statute of limitations is three years. Although three in five years seems like a long time, you should contact an attorney as soon after an accident as possible.
