Personal Injury Claims We Handle in Franklin County

Missouri personal injury law covers any injury caused by another party’s negligence, whether the harm happened on the road, on someone’s property, or in an institution.

Our team handles the following cases:

Whatever type of accident brought you here, our goal is to help you understand your options and pursue compensation Missouri law allows.

What to Do After an Accident Injury in Franklin County

Evidence disappears quickly after an accident. Surveillance footage gets overwritten. Witness memories fade. Taking the right steps in the first hours and days protects both your health and your ability to pursue damages.

Six steps that can make a difference:

  1. Seek medical care: Get prompt treatment and follow your doctor’s recommendations, even if injuries feel minor at first.
  2. Document the scene: Take photos of vehicles, hazards, and visible injuries while conditions still reflect what happened.
  3. Notify authorities: Report the incident to police or property management, depending on the situation, and get a copy of any report filed.
  4. Keep records: Save medical bills, receipts, pay stubs, and any documentation of missed work or out-of-pocket costs.
  5. Limit insurer contact: Insurance adjusters may seek recorded statements early. Decline detailed discussions before speaking with an attorney.
  6. Contact an attorney promptly: Missouri’s general personal injury statute of limitations is five years under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 516.120, but specific deadlines vary by claim type. Acting early preserves evidence and keeps your options open.

When litigation becomes necessary, personal injury claims for Franklin County residents are typically filed in the Franklin County Circuit Court in Union, MO. Our attorneys know that court, understand its procedures, and can walk you through what the process typically looks like for your type of case.

The firm you hire sends a message to the insurance company on the other side.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will My Injury Case Have to Go to Trial?

Most cases settle before trial, but the outcome you get often depends on whether your attorney is ready to go to court if needed. We prepare every case as if a jury will decide it. That readiness gives us real leverage with insurers and can produce stronger settlement offers than a firm that never tries cases.

Why Should I Choose Lowe Dreesen Miller Over Another Firm?

Our attorneys bring over 30 years of personal injury success, a record multimillion-dollar verdict, 11 community “Best of the Best” awards, and lower fees than many firms in the area. We focus on giving clients practical guidance that helps them make informed decisions.

How Long Will My Franklin County Personal Injury Case Take?

Timelines vary based on the severity of injuries, how disputes develop, and scheduling at the Franklin County Circuit Court. Some claims resolve in months; others take longer when liability is contested or damages are significant. We move cases forward efficiently without pressuring you into a settlement that undervalues your claim.

What Is Missouri’s Deadline to File a Personal Injury Claim?

Missouri law generally gives injury victims five years from the date of injury to file a claim under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 516.120. Wrongful death claims carry a shorter three-year deadline under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 537.100. These are general rules, and specific circumstances can affect which deadline applies to your case. Contacting an attorney early can help you avoid missing an applicable deadline.

    Update to Estate Plans
    “I came into the office of David Lowe for changes to my living trust. I was very overwhelmed with my current situation and was at a loss as to where to turn. David was most patient in listening as to why I felt there was a need for changes. After several professional questions and explaining that estate plans often need updating, he explained how my estate plans could be changed to reflect my wishes. David and his legal assistant, Shaloma, were very professional and both work diligently to ensure that all my questions and concerns were answered. I am very happy that I chose David Lowe to review and modify my estate plans--living trust, will, financial power of attorney, and health care directive. His fee is very reasonable and the documents were prepared in a timely manner. Thank you, David and Shaloma.”

What Compensation Can Franklin County Injury Victims Recover?

Missouri personal injury law allows injured parties to seek two broad categories of damages. Understanding both helps you evaluate what your claim may be worth before you accept any offer from an insurer.

Economic Damages
Economic damages cover losses with a calculable dollar value: past and future medical expenses, lost wages while you were unable to work, reduced earning capacity if your injuries affect your ability to earn going forward, and property damage directly resulting from the accident.

Non-Economic Damages
Non-economic damages address harms that don’t come with a receipt: physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, and loss of enjoyment of life when injuries prevent you from doing what you could before the accident.

Wrongful Death Claims
When an injury proves fatal, surviving family members can seek additional compensation under Missouri law, including funeral and burial costs, the financial support the deceased would have provided, and damages for loss of companionship. No two cases produce the same result. The value of a claim depends on the severity of the injuries, the quality of available evidence, and the conduct of the at-fault party. What matters is building the strongest possible record from the start.
