Interstate routes

Four interstates — I-44, I-55, I-64, and I-70 — converge in St. Louis, along with an interstate loop that routes through-traffic around the city.

Why St. Louis is different

St. Louis is one of the busiest freight crossroads in the country — over 1,000 trucking companies operate in the region, it's the third-largest rail hub in the US, and the Port of St. Louis is the busiest inland port in the country. That density means more potential defendants and more insurance layers in a serious crash.

22nd Judicial Circuit Court (City of St. Louis) or St. Louis County Circuit Court

Claims arising from a crash in City of St. Louis (an independent city, not part of any county) or St. Louis County, depending on where the crash occurred are typically filed here — the exact venue depends on where the collision occurred and who is named as a defendant.

8th Circuit · Federal jurisdiction

U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, based in St. Louis. Truck accident cases are often removed to federal court when the trucking company is based in another state — a factor known as diversity jurisdiction, which is common in trucking litigation specifically.
