On this page, we have taken a moment to respond to some of the questions that our clients frequently ask us. We hope this offers a bit of guidance in a difficult time.
Truck accidents often involve more than one liable party. For instance, the driver of the truck might share liability with the trucking company or truck manufacturer.

Trucking accidents also frequently involve third-party liability, which makes determining negligence more complex.
Because truck crashes are very different from regular car accidents, it is important that you find someone who has handled multiple truck accident cases successfully. If you can find a law firm that has multiple attorneys on staff, this is even better – you will have a full team on your side.
Yes. In Missouri, you must file a personal injury lawsuit within five years of the date of your accident. If you miss this crucial deadline, you lose the right to seek compensation for your damages.
