HB 506 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies the statute of limitations for personal injury claims from five years to three years

HB 506 shortens the deadline for filing personal injury lawsuits from five years to three years. It directly affects people injured in accidents, medical errors, or other non-contract injuries (like slips, falls, or assault), but does not cover contract disputes. The bill changes the legal time limit so victims must file claims within three years of the injury occurring. This policy change applies only to cases where the injury happened on or after August 28, 2025.
