Missouri Is an At-Fault State for Car Accidents

Missouri is an at-fault state when it comes to auto insurance. This means that the at-fault driver is responsible for any damages they cause in a car accident. Under Missouri law, drivers are required to carry liability insurance. After an accident, your liability insurance will cover the damages that you cause.

What Happens if the At-Fault Driver Has No Insurance?

However, things get a little tricky when the at-fault driver has no insurance. In that case, you have some options.

Filing a Lawsuit

First, you could sue the at-fault driver in civil court for your damages. However, they likely don’t have the money or assets to pay for your medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Filing a Claim Under Your Uninsured Motorist (UM) Coverage

Another option is to file a claim with your own uninsured motorist (UM) coverage. Missouri law also requires all drivers to carry a minimum of $25,000 for bodily injury per person and $50,000 per accident in UM coverage. This coverage can be used to pay for your damages after an accident caused by an uninsured motorist.

Keep in mind that your UM coverage may also apply after a hit-and-run accident where the identity of the at-fault driver is unknown.

What Compensation Can I Recover After an Accident With an Uninsured Motorist?

Uninsured motorist coverage will pay for both your economic damages and non-economic damages. This means that you can use an uninsured motorist claim to recover compensation for:

Medical bills
Lost wages
Pain and suffering
Emotional distress
Reduced earning capacity
Permanent disability

Importantly, Missouri’s “No Pay, No Play” law only limits recovery for uninsured drivers. If you were insured at the time of the crash, you’re not subject to these limits — you can seek full compensation, including non-economic damages like pain and suffering and emotional distress.

At Eason Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers, we can help you identify all the damages that may be available in your uninsured motorist claim.

How Common Are Uninsured Motorist Claims?

Uninsured motorist claims happen all too frequently. Although states require drivers to carry insurance, many still choose to drive without it, thereby breaking the law. According to the Insurance Information Institute, more than one in seven U.S. drivers is uninsured. Matters are even worse in Missouri.

The same study reveals that more than one in five drivers in Missouri is uninsured. This means that your odds of being in an accident with an uninsured motorist are quite high. Knowing what to do after one of these accidents and how to handle an uninsured motorist claim can help ensure you get all the compensation you are owed.

What Should I Do After a Car Accident With an Uninsured Motorist?

Staying calm and following the correct steps after an accident can be crucial to obtaining the compensation you deserve.

If you’re involved in a crash with an uninsured driver, here’s what to do:

Seek immediate medical attention. Your health is the top priority. Get treatment for any injuries, even if they seem minor at first.
Call the police. An officer will create an accident report and may issue a citation to the other driver for failing to carry insurance.
Document the scene. If you’re able, take photos of the vehicles, damage, road conditions, and any visible injuries.
Gather witness information. Get the names and contact details of anyone who saw the accident happen.
Notify your insurance company. Report the crash promptly, but don’t admit fault. Insurance companies record statements and often use them to deny claims.
Contact a personal injury lawyer. Legal guidance is crucial when dealing with uninsured motorist claims. Your attorney can handle all communications and negotiate with the insurer on your behalf.

We’ll take care of every detail of your uninsured motorist claim so you can focus on recovery.

Liz and James are the best!

hameed abuzeid

Great experience quick and worth it results, I recommend Eason car Accident and personal injury for their integrity and being there for their clients. I’m really happy that I had them represent me in my lawsuit

Kristol Heppner

After my wreck I knew I was going to need help. Being fairly new to St. Louis I started looking on Google. I found Eason Law Firm and read the reviews. I called and a short time later James Eason called me back. What you have read others say about how he cares for his clients, that is 100% the truth. He understood my injuries, and what it took to repair them. He understood when I was beyond frustrated with the whole situation.
He is upfront and honest, and supports you in your decisions. I was always informed and up to date with what was going on with my case.
I cannot recommend James and his staff enough!! I truly would leave way more than 5 stars if possible! ✨️

Mary Bradley

I would recommend this place to anyone. They keep you informed on where ya case is and not leave you wondering out in the cold. Liz is very nice, and very professional. I will use this firm again if I ever need another lawyer for anything. Thank you for your service. And your kindness.
God bless youns,
Mary Bradley

Linda Bolton-Ganz

Eason Law was very helpful getting info needed to help me and they have been good about following up with me to let me know how my case is going.

Kelly Burks

I recently was injured in an automobile accident while being approximately 15 weeks pregnant. I am very appreciative of the help that Eason Law Firm gave me during this very nerve-wracking time. I had awful back and neck pain and Liz was exceptionally helpful during the process to get me the help needed to get my injuries addressed so that my suffering wasn't going to be in vain. If I had questions or concerns she got back to me in a timely manner. They handled everything with the at fault drivers' insurance company, which can be intimidating. I know that the firm will fight for all that I deserve. Hopefully I will not need them again, but if I do I would go back as well as refer any family or friends their way!!!

Why This Firm Exists

James Eason didn't build this firm to be the biggest. He built it to be the kind of firm an injured person actually needs. We are small enough to stay personally involved, prepared enough to walk into court, and selective enough to take cases seriously. The model most personal injury firms run on is volume: take everything, settle most of it quickly, and then move on to the next injured client. That works for the firm, but it doesn't always work for the client. The lawyers who genuinely prepare every case for trial are the ones who get the best results, because the insurance carriers know the difference. That's our model here.

Steps to Proceed

Our Proven Process

Free Consultation

We'll listen to what happened, ask the questions that matter, and tell you honestly whether we think the case is worth pursuing. If we don't, we'll say so.

Investigation

If we take the case, we get to work, investigating the police reports, medical records, and witness statements, preserving the evidence and working with experts as needed.

Demand & Negotiate

We build a documented claim and present it to the insurance carrier. Most cases settle here. If yours doesn’t, we keep going.

Litigation Preparation

If the offer isn't fair, we litigate. Because we've prepared the case for trial from the beginning, we're ready when it gets there.

Resolution

Settlement, mediation, or verdict we pursue whichever outcome reflects what your case is actually worth.
