Legal Question in Personal Injury in Missouri
Sued for a 3 year old car accident
I was in an accident 3.5 years ago, I ran into the rear-end of a car with three occupants. I was given a ticket for following too close. The officer at the scene asked if the occupants wanted an ambulance, but they refused treatment. Now I am being sued for all medical expenses and anguish suffered from that date, past, present and future. Can they do this if they refuse treatment? My passenger, and I witnessed that they had no appearent injuries following the accident.

Re: Sued for a 3 year old car accident
Often rear-end accidents cause the type of injury that does not appear until several hours or a day later. In Missouri, the injured party must bring their case within five years of the accident (with a few exceptions. Your liability insurer will provide an attorney for your defense. Give them a copy of the Petition and Summons that were served upon you.
Good Luck
