The state of Missouri has recently allotted millions of dollars for undercompensated victims of personal injury or wrongful death cases. The Missouri Tort Victims’ Compensation Fund was designed to grant compensation to those who were not awarded the full amount they need to recover from their injuries or the loss of a loved one.
If you believe you were not compensated completely in your personal injury case, contact Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer today. There is a very limited amount of time in which victims can claim the compensation they deserve.
In 1987, the Missouri legislature voted to establish a fund for victims of personal injury and wrongful death. The fund is designed with undercompensated victims in mind. Victims are often undercompensated in cases of serious injury or death when the defendant may be underinsured, completely lacking insurance, or bankrupt. When the responsible party cannot pay their victim, a Missouri personal injury attorney may be able to advocate for the victim’s needs.
At Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer, we work tirelessly to win the maximum amount of money possible for our clients. Our collective 100+ years of experience filing and fighting personal injury tort claims allow us to recognize when our clients are not receiving the damages they or their loved ones deserve after suffering a grievous or deadly injury in Missouri. The recently released funds from 2022’s Missouri Tort Victims’ Compensation Fund allow Harper, Evans, Hilbrenner & Netemeyer to make claims for underserved clients across the state.
This Missouri Tort Victims’ Compensation Fund is not limited to victims of the Johnson & Johnson case, even though the funds have been redistributed from the compensation awarded to Johnson & Johnson victims. After Johnson & Johnson was required to provide $2.12 billion in punitive damages, the Missouri Tort Victims’ Compensation Fund was granted funds to pass to victims of personal injury and wrongful death across the state.
