Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have a case?
Every situation is different. If you were injured because of someone else’s negligence — whether in a car accident, on unsafe property, or from medical errors — you may have a case. The best way to know is a free consultation. Speak with an attorney from Wolff Trial Lawyers for free today.
What should I do right after an accident or injury?
Get medical care immediately, even if you feel fine. Then, document everything — photos, records, and witness names — and talk to a lawyer before speaking with insurance companies.
How long do I have to file a claim?
In Missouri, the statute of limitations for most personal injury cases is five years, but medical malpractice cases may have a shorter deadline. It’s important to act quickly so you don’t lose your right to file.
Do I need a lawyer, or can I handle it myself?
Insurance companies often try to settle for less than you deserve. Having an experienced attorney on your side levels the playing field and usually leads to a stronger outcome.
How much is my case worth?
Case value depends on your medical bills, lost wages, long-term impact, how the injury affects your life, and your quality of legal representation. While no lawyer can guarantee an amount, we fight relentlessly to get you the maximum compensation possible.
