How We Can Help You
Beck & Beck Missouri Car Accident Lawyers is the only firm in Missouri that focuses exclusively on Missouri auto accident cases and our extensive knowledge of this area of law means you can feel confident in our counsel.
When you hire attorneys Paul and John Beck, we’ll thoroughly investigate the crash, gather essential evidence, talk to witnesses and experts, work to get you the medical care you need (even if you don’t have health insurance), and much, much more. We do it all so you can concentrate on getting better and getting your life back on track.
Here’s how we can help you after a crash:
We Handle the Investigation From Start to Finish
One of the first things we do is get to work gathering evidence. To hold the other driver accountable, we need proof that they were at fault and that the crash caused your injuries and losses. We’ll pull the police report, get any nearby surveillance or dash cam footage, speak with witnesses, and if needed, bring in experts to analyze vehicle damage or accident reconstruction.
You shouldn’t have to figure all that out on your own—we’ll take care of it.
We Deal With Insurance Companies So You Don’t Have To
Insurance adjusters have one job: to save their company money. They may seem friendly at first, but we’ve seen time and again how they use delays, low offers, and even blame-shifting to avoid paying what they should.
When we represent you, we take over all communication with the insurance company. That way, you don’t have to worry about saying the wrong thing or getting pressured into accepting less than you deserve.
We Know What Your Case Is Worth—and How to Prove It
Many people don’t realize how much their claim could be worth. Beyond medical bills and car repairs, we look at things like lost income, future medical care, pain and suffering, and even how your injury affects your ability to work.
We’ll make sure nothing gets left out, and we’ll build a claim that reflects the full impact the crash has had on your life.
We’ll Take It to Court If That’s What It Takes
Most cases settle, but not all of them. If the insurance company refuses to be fair, we’ll be ready to file a lawsuit and fight for you in court. We don’t back down from tough cases, and we never push clients to settle just to avoid trial.
You’ll have two experienced Missouri attorneys—Paul and John Beck—on your side every step of the way.

How Fault Is Proven in a Missouri Car Accident
Figuring out who caused your car accident is one of the most important steps in securing the compensation you’re owed. If you’re facing steep medical costs and can’t work while you recover, proving fault is necessary to pursue full payment for your physical injuries, emotional stress, and other losses.
To show who was responsible, you’ll need to prove that the other driver failed to meet the standard of care required on the road. In Missouri, all drivers must act with reasonable care to avoid harming others or damaging property.
Common Forms of Driver Negligence
- Driving while intoxicated by drugs or alcohol
- Aggressive driving or intentional acts of road rage
- Driving with excessive speed
- Failure to yield the right-of-way
- Ignoring traffic signals or failing to use turn indicators
- Lane changes made recklessly or without signaling
- Not keeping the vehicle in safe working condition
- Dangerous driving in rain, snow, or other weather conditions
Key Types of Evidence That Can Support Your Case
- Statements from people who witnessed the crash or saw what happened just before
- Pictures from the scene, including road layout, tire marks, and visibility conditions
- Photos showing your injuries and the damage to your vehicle
- Phone data that could reveal if the other driver was texting or distracted
- Vehicle service and inspection logs
- Your medical records tied to the injuries from the wreck
- Official accident report completed by law enforcement
- Any security or traffic camera footage that may exist
- Lab results showing the other driver’s drug or alcohol use
This documentation matters because Missouri follows a system called pure comparative fault. That means you may still recover damages even if you share some blame—though your payment may be reduced. An experienced lawyer can protect you against insurance tactics that try to shift more of the blame onto you and help you recover as much as possible.

What Damages Can You Claim in a Missouri Accident Case?
In a Missouri car accident case, you may be eligible to claim various types of damages, including:
- Medical Expenses: This includes the cost of medical treatment related to your injuries, such as hospital bills, surgeries, medication, rehabilitation, and ongoing therapy.
- Lost Wages: If your injuries prevent you from working, you can claim compensation for the wages you’ve lost, including any future earning potential if your injuries result in long-term disability or reduced earning capacity.
- Property Damage: You can seek reimbursement for the repair or replacement of your vehicle and any other property damaged in the accident, such as personal belongings inside the vehicle.
- Pain and Suffering: Non-economic damages, such as physical pain, emotional distress, and mental anguish, may also be compensable. These damages aim to provide compensation for the intangible harms suffered as a result of the accident.
- Loss of Consortium: If the accident has negatively impacted your relationship with your spouse, you may be entitled to compensation for loss of companionship, affection, and support.
- Wrongful Death Damages: If a loved one dies as a result of the car accident, surviving family members may be able to pursue wrongful death damages, including funeral and burial expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship.
- Punitive Damages: In rare cases involving egregious misconduct or recklessness, punitive damages may be awarded to punish the at-fault party and deter similar behavior in the future.
