01 · Your filing deadline
What is the deadline in Missouri?
Missouri has a 5-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims involving toxic substances — relatively favorable for PFAS claimants. A lawyer can confirm yours.
Deadlines vary; a lawyer can confirm yours. An older diagnosis or a past filing window does not, by itself, establish whether you have a claim.
02 · Where cases are heard
Where would my case be heard?
Missouri has PFAS contamination at Whiteman AFB near Knob Noster (home of the B-2 Spirit stealth bomber), Fort Leonard Wood in Pulaski County, and Scott AFB near Belleville (which also affects Missouri communities across the river). The St. Louis metropolitan area has industrial PFAS sources. Missouri's 5-year statute of limitations for toxic exposure is quite favorable.
Missouri personal injury claims for toxic exposure are governed by Mo. Rev. Stat. § 516.120, providing a 5-year limitations period from discovery — more favorable than most states. Federal PFAS claims proceed in MDL 2873 (D.S.C.). Whiteman AFB in Johnson County, home of the B-2 stealth bomber wing, has documented PFAS from AFFF. Fort Leonard Wood in Pulaski County has documented PFAS from Army training operations. St. Louis industrial corridor has PFAS discharge from chemical manufacturing.
