How Much Does it Cost to Hire a Taxi Accident Lawyer?
At Eason Car Accident and Personal Injury Lawyers, we work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay us unless we win your case.

Can I Recover Compensation If I’m Being Blamed for a Taxi Accident in St. Louis, Missouri?
Missouri is a pure comparative fault state. This means you can still recover money as long as you’re not 100% to blame. Your compensation might just be reduced based on your share of the fault. For example, if you’re found to be 20% at fault, you could still get 80% of the damages.
How Long Do I Have to File a Lawsuit After a Taxi Accident in Missouri?
In Missouri, you usually have five years from the date of your taxi accident to file a lawsuit. This deadline is called the statute of limitations. If you miss it, you could lose your chance to get compensation. However, there are a few exceptions to this rule. To be safe, it’s best to talk to a lawyer as soon as possible.

Areas of Practice
We represent victims injured in a wide range of accident and injury claims, including
Commercial trucks are usually insured for $1 million or more, and the carriers behind them have lawyers and investigators on the file the day of the crash. Trucking cases need immediate attention to preserve the evidence that wins them, including the driver's logs, the truck's electronic data, maintenance records, and the company's safety history. We handle these cases regularly and know what to look for.
Crashes involving delivery vans, work trucks, rideshare drivers on the clock, and other company vehicles often encompass multiple insurance policies and a fight over who was working for whom at the time. Untangling that is a meaningful part of the case, and it can substantially change what's available to the injured client.
Spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, severe burns, and traumatic amputations require careful calculation of future medical costs and other long-term care needs. We work with life-care planners and medical economists so the full lifetime cost of the injury is on the table, and not just the medical bills that have already come in.
Wrongful death claims are about more than money. Families need answers and accountability as much as they need financial security. We handle these cases with the seriousness they deserve and walk families through the legal and emotional landscape carefully.
Traumatic brain injuries don't always show up clearly on a standard ER scan, and adjusters routinely undervalue them despite the serious health implications. These cases require thorough medical documentation, the right specialists, and expert testimony to be valued correctly.
Pedestrian Accidents
Pedestrian collisions tend to produce severe injuries from impact alone. Liability is often clear, but carriers still push back on damages. We make sure the long-term medical, vocational, and personal impact is fully documented.
Motorcyclists face built-in bias from insurance adjusters who automatically assume the rider was at fault. We've handled enough of these cases to know how that argument gets made and how to push back.
We don't take every car accident case. We take the serious ones, such as those involving significant injuries, disputed liability, or commercial vehicles, as well as aggressive insurance carriers.
Construction injury cases often involve third-party liability, and OSHA issues, which further complicate matters. The investigation has to start quickly before site conditions change and evidence disappears.
Experienced representation for patients harmed by medical errors, misdiagnosis, surgical mistakes, and other forms of healthcare negligence.
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
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.
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.
Settlement, mediation, or verdict — we pursue whichever outcome reflects what your case is actually worth.
