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.

Types of Employer Negligence
Employer negligence is a broad term meant to encompass the various negligent actions that an employer may commit.
In the realm of commercial trucking, this negligence may include:
- Hours of Service Violations
- Negligent Hiring
- Failure to Train/Inadequate Training
- Failure to Inspect
Aside from being potentially hazardous to the truck driver, these forms of negligence may be harmful to other drivers on the road, as well. A truck driver who does not receive the correct training, scheduling or support from his or her employer can easily become a danger to everyone on the road.
