Frequently asked questions

How many firms are listed in St. Joseph, Missouri?

No firms are listed in St. Joseph, Missouri yet. Claims over scald burns, like other burn and fire cases, are routinely litigated statewide rather than city by city, so a firm based elsewhere in Missouri can generally take a St. Joseph case.

How long do I have to file a scald burns lawsuit in Missouri?

The Missouri statute of limitations for most personal injury claims is 5 years (Mo. Rev. Stat. § 516.120). Claims against a government body usually run on a much shorter separate notice deadline. Missing either one generally ends the claim regardless of its merits, so the filing date matters more than almost any other early decision.

How large is St. Joseph?

St. Joseph had an estimated population of 71,098 in 2024 (U.S. Census Bureau Population Estimates Program), across 44 square miles of land — about 1,615 residents per square mile. That is down 1.5% since the 2020 census.
