What is the deadline in Missouri?
Missouri personal injury SOL: 5 years (RSMo § 516.120). Minor tolling: the SOL is tolled while the child is under 21, then the 5-year period runs — the child's claim expires at age 26 (RSMo § 516.170). Wrongful death: 3 years from death (RSMo § 537.100). A lawyer can confirm yours.
Missouri follows pure comparative fault. Missouri does not cap compensatory damages in product liability cases. Punitive damages available for conduct showing complete indifference to or conscious disregard for the rights and safety of others.
