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 a Wrong Diagnosis
When a doctor or other healthcare provider misdiagnoses a patient’s ailment, the patient may suffer unintended consequences. Since treatment is based on the diagnosis, patients who receive the wrong diagnosis will not receive treatment for their actual ailments.
A wrong diagnosis may lead to:
- Further advancement of the illness
- Injury or complications from the wrong treatment
- Permanent disabilities
In some severe cases, patients who receive a wrong diagnosis may pass away from their underlying illnesses due to a lack of timely treatment.
A misdiagnosis may entitle a seriously injured patient to financial compensation for his or her injuries. Individuals who have suffered harm as a result of a misdiagnosis are advised to seek legal counsel from a Springfield medical malpractice lawyer.
