About Tyson Mutrux

-Strike fast, strike often.

I’ve always wanted to be an attorney, but when I was younger I didn’t think it was possible. Neither one of my parents graduated from high school and money wasn’t something we had a lot of. My dad and my mom both worked two jobs and taught me the value of hard work. As a mechanic, my dad knew how grueling manual labor can be, so he intentionally wouldn’t let me work on cars so that I wouldn’t follow in his footsteps.

I owe a lot to my parents, my wife, my family and my friends for where I am today. But I can point to two moments in my life that led me becoming a lawyer. The first may seem trivial to most, but it isn’t to me. On my high school graduation day, I received a book from one of my favorite teachers, Mrs. Morgan. The book? The Street Lawyer, by John Grisham. The plot of the book isn’t what mattered; it was the message. Mrs. Morgan had always encouraged me to become a lawyer, and this was another nudge down that path. With the simple act of giving me that book, she was telling me to follow my dream. The book is great, by the way – I still have the original she gave me.

OUR STORY

The Second Moment

The second moment had less to do with me, but its impact on me was far more profound. It was 2003, and I was a medic in the Army stationed at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin. My unit’s mission was simple: make sure the troops going to war were medically ready (we used the term “mobilize”).

Fort McCoy is sandwiched between the towns of Tomah and Sparta, both with populations under 10,000. Needless to say, there wasn’t much for us to do while we weren’t working. To pass the time, we played basketball…lots and lots of basketball. Because we spent so much time playing, I became really good friends with a lot of the guys going to Iraq and Afghanistan.

One of the guys I played with left for several months and came back far earlier than the unit he mobilized with. After playing a couple of hours of basketball, we sat on the bleachers and caught up for a bit. I asked him, “Why are you back so early?” I’ll never forget his response. Without saying a word, he pulled off his shoe, then his sock. He was missing half his foot. I couldn’t believe my eyes – he hadn’t complained once or shown a bit of emotion.

That night, I went back to my room and told myself I have no excuses. I was going to law school, and nothing was going to stop me.

Why We Do What We Do

Now, several years after becoming a lawyer, those moments still stick with me. I talk about them every time I go speak to law students so they understand how important it is to remember why we do what we do. And now that I’m a lawyer, new moments keep me focused on what matters.

Earlier this year, my client Cassandra came into the office carrying a tan jacket. She was there to sign some paperwork, but I noticed she kept fidgeting with the jacket. When we were done talking, she looked at me and said, “Try this on.” I gave her an odd look but complied with her request. I said, “This fits perfect. How does it look?” Cassandra replied, “It looks great. I knew it would.”

What makes this moment meaningful is that was her only son Braxton’s jacket. He died a year earlier in a horrific car crash. It was such a humbling moment. I wear that jacket any chance I get.

I started Mutrux Firm, LLC because I have the same vision. I want to help people. No matter how bad things get, we are here to help clients put the pieces of their lives back together. We aren’t able to help everyone – but we sure as hell will try.

FAQ

Tyson Mutrux: Experienced Personal Injury Lawyer Recognized for Justice and Results

How does a car accident claim work in Missouri?

A car accident claim is built on proving another driver was at fault. Missouri holds every driver to the highest degree of care, and it follows pure comparative fault, so you can recover even if you were partly to blame, with your award reduced by your share of fault. Most car accident claims must be filed within five years. Acting early helps preserve the evidence that proves fault.

What makes a truck accident claim different from a car accident?

Truck cases involve federal safety rules, several possible defendants, and much larger insurance policies. The trucking company, the cargo loader, the maintenance shop, and a parts maker can all share responsibility, and key evidence like the black box and the driver's hours-of-service logs can be overwritten within months. That is why a preservation letter needs to go out to the carrier quickly.

What counts as a personal injury case in Missouri?

A personal injury case is any claim where someone is hurt because of another party's negligence, from car and truck crashes to slip and falls, dog bites, and wrongful death. Most personal injury claims in Missouri must be filed within five years, and the firm handles them on a contingency fee, so there is no fee unless you win.

Why are motorcycle accident claims harder for riders in Missouri?

Motorcycle riders often face bias, and insurers lean on it to argue the rider was reckless. A strong claim counters that with real evidence of how the crash happened and who was at fault. Missouri also allows most riders 26 and older to ride without a helmet if they carry the required insurance, and not wearing one does not automatically bar a claim.

What do I have to prove in a Missouri slip and fall claim?

A slip and fall is a premises liability claim. You generally must show the property owner knew, or should have known, about a dangerous condition and failed to fix it or warn you, and that the hazard caused your injury. Because Missouri uses comparative fault, an owner may argue you share some blame, so photos of the hazard taken right away are valuable evidence.

Can I sue after a dog bite in Missouri?

Often, yes. Under RSMo 273.036, a dog owner is strictly liable when their dog bites someone who is in a public place or lawfully in a private place, even if the dog never bit anyone before. That means you usually do not have to prove the owner knew the dog was dangerous. Compensation can cover medical care, scarring, and other losses.

Who can file a wrongful death claim in Missouri?

Under RSMo 537.080, the right to file a wrongful death claim follows a set order: first the spouse, children, or parents; then a sibling if none of those can file; and if no qualifying family member is available, a court-appointed plaintiff ad litem. Missouri generally allows three years from the date of death to file, and only one wrongful death lawsuit may be brought per death.
