Statute of Limitations
Missouri has a 5-year statute of limitations for personal injury from truck accidents (RSMo § 516.120) — one of the longest in the nation. Missouri follows pure comparative fault — even majority-at-fault plaintiffs can recover damages reduced by their fault percentage. Claims against MoDOT or other state entities require compliance with the Missouri Sovereign Immunity Act.
