Missouri Wrongful Death Law
Under Missouri law, close relatives of fatal accident victims can file lawsuits in court. These lawsuits — called wrongful death lawsuits — are legal claims for fatal accidents caused by negligent, reckless or careless acts. These may include speeding, failing to keep proper lookout or driving while intoxicated.
By filing wrongful death lawsuits, families send clear messages to negligent drivers: that their actions will not be tolerated. In doing so, we hope to prevent more, similar traffic deaths in the future.
Compensation for Your Loss
Even though no amount of money can bring back a person who has been killed in a car accident, truck accident or motorcycle accident, filing a wrongful death lawsuit can still be beneficial. Compensation from wrongful death lawsuits can support young children or spouses left behind after a fatal accident. It can help these families gain the resources necessary to try to move forward with their lives.
