Franklin & Crawford Counties
Personal Injury Lawyer in Sullivan, Missouri
Representing injury victims in Sullivan, on the Franklin-Crawford county line.
Sullivan sits on I-44 right at the Franklin and Crawford county line, which makes it an unusual place to be injured: which county a claim belongs in is not always obvious, and getting that wrong can slow a case down before it starts. Cardinal Law works on both sides of that line regularly, so we can tell you quickly where your case belongs.
Interstate traffic through Sullivan, along with Highway 185 and the local roads feeding into it, produces a steady stream of the collisions we handle here — everything from rear-end crashes at highway interchanges to more serious wrecks involving commercial trucks passing through on I-44.
Whatever brought you to this page, our approach for Sullivan clients is the same as everywhere else we work: find out what actually happened, document what it cost you, and push for what the claim is genuinely worth rather than what an adjuster offers first.

Dealing With Insurance Companies After a Missouri Accident

Related Injury Case Types
Car Accidents
Hurt in a crash on I-44, Route 66, or a county road? The insurance company started building its case the same day. You should too.
Truck Accidents
Commercial trucking cases are not big car accident cases. Different evidence, different rules, and a defense team that mobilizes within hours.
Motorcycle Accidents
Riders get blamed first and offered least. We build the case that shows what actually happened.
Slip & Fall
A fall on someone else's property is not automatically their fault — proving it takes evidence that vanishes within days.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a personal injury lawyer cost in Sullivan?
We handle these cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning no fee up front and payment only if we recover money for you. The consultation is free.
How long do I have to file a personal injury claim in Missouri?
Missouri sets a filing deadline for injury claims that can vary based on who is responsible and the type of claim. Missing the deadline generally ends the case, so confirm your specific timeline with an attorney instead of assuming.
Does it matter whether my accident happened in Franklin or Crawford County?
It can affect where the case is filed and which court hears it. Sullivan sits right on that county line, and we can help sort out where your case belongs.
What should I do after a car accident in Sullivan?
Get medical care, report the accident, document the scene and your injuries, and avoid giving a recorded statement to the other driver’s insurer before speaking with an attorney.
What if I was partially at fault?
Partial fault does not automatically bar a claim in Missouri, though it can reduce your recovery. Insurers frequently overstate an injured person’s share of fault, which is worth challenging.
When should I contact a personal injury lawyer?
As soon as you can after the accident. Evidence can disappear quickly, and an early conversation does not commit you to anything.
