How long do I have to file a personal injury case in Missouri?Every state has a time limit for how long you have to file a personal injury claim called the statute of limitations. In Missouri, the statute of limitations for personal injury cases is five years from the date the injury occurred or could have been reasonably discovered. If you fail to file your personal injury lawsuit before the statute of limitations expires then the defendant will most certainly file a motion to dismiss the case.

The Dangers of Delayed Treatment
Delayed treatment may cause individuals life-altering harm in a number of ways. The most common reason that harm occurs is because an individual’s condition worsens while treatment is delayed.
Delayed treatment may happen as a result of:
- Clerical errors
- Delayed or incorrect diagnosis
- Healthcare provider negligence
Each of these reasons for delayed treatment may qualify as medical malpractice. As such, individuals who suffer harm after receiving delayed treatment may be eligible to receive financial compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain, and suffering, and more.
However, keep in mind that not all doctor errors constitute medical malpractice. Before taking legal action against a medical institution for medical malpractice, individuals are advised to discuss their cases with an experienced Springfield medical malpractice lawyer. During your consultation, you can discuss the severity of the damages you have suffered and determine whether you have a viable case.
