Filing Claims After Accidents

Summary

In Missouri, you should file a claim with your insurance promptly after an unreported accident. Accidents with injury or damage over $500 must be reported to the Missouri Department of Revenue within 30 days, or you may face penalties. Filing a claim after 30 days is possible but could be more difficult due to insurance policy time limits. You can request the other party to file with their insurance, but their cooperation isnt guaranteed. For specific legal guidance, consulting a local attorney is advisable.
