Missouri Semi Truck Accident Lawsuit: Where Should I File a Lawsuit against the Trucking Company?

Depending on the facts of a Missouri truck accident, a lawsuit may be filed in state or federal court. The facts will also determine if the suit should be filed in Missouri or another state. These are critical decisions that should be made by an experienced attorney.

Missouri state trial courts are called circuit courts. Missouri's counties and the city of St. Louis are organized into 45 judicial circuits. There is a circuit court in every county. The court is typically in the county seat and may be in additional locations in the county, for example, St. Louis.

U.S. District Courts in Missouri include the following:

United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, with locations in St. Louis, Cape Girardeau and Hannibal
United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri, with locations in Kansas City, Jefferson City, Springfield, Joplin and St. Joseph
