Missouri Personal Injury Case Results

What these figures represent

Each amount above is the total recovered for a client in a single matter, before attorney fees, case costs and any medical liens are deducted. Missouri law requires us to say plainly that past results do not guarantee or predict the outcome of any future case, and that is not a formality. Two collisions that look identical on paper can settle years and six figures apart.

What actually moves the number

Four things drive the value of a Missouri injury claim more than anything else. The first is the severity and permanence of the injury, because a fracture that heals in eight weeks is valued very differently from one that ends a career. The second is how clearly liability sits with the other side. The third is the available insurance, since a catastrophic injury caused by a driver carrying the Missouri minimum policy may be capped by what that policy will pay rather than by what the case is worth. The fourth is comparative fault, because Missouri reduces an award by the percentage of blame assigned to the injured person.

Why we prepare every case for trial

Insurance companies track which firms file suit and which ones settle whatever is offered. A case that is documented, worked up and ready for a courtroom is valued differently by an adjuster than one that is not. That preparation is why the figures above look the way they do.
