 The Missouri car accident occurred on July 29, 2011 as 51-year-old Diana L. Czeschin crossed the centerline near Red Bird Road on Route B. When Czeschin attempted to correct her 1995 GMC truck, she overcorrected and traveled off the right side of the road. The Bland, Missouri resident crashed into a tree and was pronounced dead by, Ben Grossman, the Gasconade County Coroner. Czeschin was not wearing her seatbelt during the Missouri car accident.
Single vehicle Missouri car accidents are far too common. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there were over 20,000 single vehicle car accidents in 2008. Of the 20,000 single vehicle car accidents, 10,000 happened off the road. Determining who is liable in a single vehicle Missouri car accident can be difficult considering the circum stances. Most single vehicle car accidents are usually the fault of the driver; however, in some cases another party may be responsible. As an example, a unit of the government could be responsible. Local and state governments are tasked with setting speed limits that are appropriate for the road. These speed limits will vary depending on the terrain. The State of Missouri has set an over all maximum speed limit for the state in statute §304.010. According to this statute, rural highways have a maximum speed limit of 70 mph whereas rural expressway speeds are set at 65 mph. The maximum speed for urban interstates and lettered two-lane highways is 60 mph. The Missouri statute §304.010 decides the maximum speed limit for the whole state, but local government units may lower the limits if necessary. The local or state government may be held liable for a single vehicle Missouri car accident if the posted speed limit is too high to accommodate the road condition or terrain. If the Missouri car accident victim was driving under the maximum posted speed limit at the time of the accident, the victim’s family could argue that the government was not diligent in posting an appropriate speed for that particular road. If you are injured in a single vehicle Missouri car accident as a result of a negligent driver or improper speed limit posting, contact one of our experienced Missouri car accident lawyers immediately. Call 888.956.2487 and speak to one of our experienced Missouri car accident attorneys. Our knowledge will build a case of against the person or government entity that is at fault for causing the single vehicle accident. ************************************************** Joshua P.

 An O’Fallon, Missouri man was hospitalized after a car accident in St. Charles County, Missouri. The Missouri car accident happened on I-64 on July 19,2011. Wright City resident, Erin N. Dorlaque, drove her 2005 Cadillac into the rear of Michael W. Huffman’s 2002 Ford Expedition while traveling eastbound on I-64. The force of the collision caused both vehicles to drive off the road and rollover. As a result of the Missouri car accident, Huffman was ejected from his vehicle. Huffman was taken to St. John’s Medical Center by St. Charles County Ambulance to be treated for serious injuries.
It is not uncommon that the lighter SUV rolled over in the Missouri car accident. Light SUVs, trucks, and vans account for the largest number of rollover accident. SUVs, trucks, and vans have a higher center of gravity than the smaller passenger cars. Automobiles with a higher center of gravity have a higher rollover rate during a collision because of this factor. Sadly, the fatality rate for vehicles such as these in a rollover accident is upward to 59%. SUVs are not equipped to handle rollover accidents, especially since side airbags are not standard in most of the vehicles. The roof of an SUV or vehicle with a higher center of gravity is not designed to maintain the weight of the vehicle and occupants when the vehicle rolls over. The pressure that is put on the roof causes it to collapse under the weight, which can lead to serious injury or death. In Missouri rollover car accidents, occupants may be ejected from the vehicle. Bodily injury or death can occur from a car accident ejection. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration concludes that 74% of vehicle occupants were ejected and died over the span of a year. Wearing a seat belt is the best way to prevent an ejection in the event of a Missouri car accident. Of the people who wore a seat belt, only 1% was completely ejected from the vehicle in a car accident. Car accident victims who are in a rollover accident usually require a lot of medical treatment. The victims may miss a lot of work to recover from the injuries sustained in a Missouri car accident. As a result, they lose important wages. In Missouri, injured victims can fight for compensation. An experienced Missouri car accident lawyer will help fight to make sure victims receive the most compensation. If you are involved in a Missouri car accident with a distracted driver, call 888.956.2487 and speak to one of our experienced Missouri car accident attorneys. **************************************** Joshua P.

 A rear-end accident in Callaway County, Missouri on route J injured Shyan M. Clark from Fulton, Missouri. On May 17, 2011, 33-year-old James R. Allen was stopped in his 2003 Saturn behind another vehicle, which was also making a left turn. 55-year-old Deborah J. Roberts failed to stop her 2005 Lincoln resulting in a rear-end collision. Another vehicle, driven by 40-year-old Shelly Basnett struck Roberts vehicle resulting in a second strike to Allen’s vehicle. Another driver, Renee M. Knipfel, then collided with Basnett’s vehicle. The only reported injury was that of 12-year-old Shyan M. Clark who suffered moderate injuries and was taken to Callaway County Hospital by ambulance. She was not wearing a seat belt during the collision.
Missouri law requires all children 15-years-old to wear a seat belt while in a moving vehicle. Children in Missouri are required to wear a seat belt regardless of where in the vehicle they are located. The Missouri child restraint laws are different than the seat belt laws for adults, which only require an adult wear a seat belt in the front seat. Law enforcement officers can pull over any vehicle where a child is not properly restrained with a safety belt. There are a few exemptions to the restraint law, which are parades and agricultural reasons. Missouri’s child safety belt law decreases the risk of injury and death for children involved in a motor vehicle accident. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 184,000 children are injured in Missouri car accidents every year. Several studies indicate that seat belts greatly reduce the number of car accident injuries of children. The CDC recommends that all children under the age of 12 only sit in the back seat to avoid risk from air bags or dash impact. While on the road, you should always be safe. Wearing a seatbelt isn’t an option anymore even though law enforcement officers won’t pull someone over just because they are not wearing a seat belt. Even when you drive carefully, there are other people on the road that you can’t control and Missouri car accidents happen. If a negligent driver injures you, call 888.956.2487 to speak to an experienced Missouri motor vehicle accident attorney to discuss your claim and your rights as a victim. *************************************************** Joshua P.

 A rear-end car accident in Jefferson County, Missouri killed a teenager and injured seven people on May 1, 2011. The accident happened as a Chevrolet Impala driven by Michael A. Rayfield from Fetus, Missouri and a Ford Escort driven by Holly J. Duncan were stopped at a red light in the southbound lanes of US-67 at the cross intersection of Meyer Road. A Pontiac G8, driven by Daniel B. Torrence, failed to stop crashing into the rear of Duncan’s vehicle. The force of the collision caused Duncan’s Ford to rear-end Rayfield’s vehicle.
Unfortunately, 15-year-old Thomas A. Duncan from Bonne Terre, Missouri died after being transported to St. John’s Mercy Medical Center in Creve Coeur and than being airlifted to the Children’s Hospital. Seven other Missouri residents were also injured in the rear-end collision. Joshua Duncan, 9-years-old, was seriously injured along with 14-year-old Caleb Reed. The minors were transported to Cardinal Glennon Hospital by the Arch Helicopter transport. 39-year-old Holly Duncan, 11-year-old Paul Duncan, 37-year-old Daniel Torrence, and 14-year-old Blaise Torrence sustained minor injuries and taken to Jefferson Regional Medical Center by Joachim Plattin Ambulance. Filing a lawsuit to receive compensation for the death of a loved one, especially a child can take an emotional toll on people. Parents and family members are usually caught off guard when it is time to file a wrongful death claim because they cannot understand why their loved one suffered at the hand of another person’s negligence. Parents should rest assured, with an experienced attorney, that their children have the right to receive compensation for their injuries. If you have lost a loved one or a child, call 888.956.2487 to speak to an experienced Missouri wrongful death attorney to make sure your child’s rights are well-protected and the negligence of the other party are held responsible for their actions. *************************************************** Joshua P.

 Five residents from the towns of Fairdealing and Doniphan were injured in a car accident in Ripley County, Missouri on May 21, 2011. On Brooks Lane, three miles east of Doniphan in Ripley County, 51-year-old Sue K. Sanford made a U-turn in her 1998 Pontiac. As she was turning, 68-year-old James E. Bozeman’s 2002 Mitsubishi struck her. Sanford’s vehicle was totaled, and Bozeman’s vehicle received extensive damage in the car accident. A total of five people were injured in the Missouri accident. Sanford suffered from moderate injuries and her passenger Jonathan C. Wilkerson received minor injuries. Both were Doniphan residents and were taken by ambulance to Poplar Bluff Regional Medical Center. Another passenger of Sanford’s was 13-year-old Christin D. Sanford suffered serious injuries and was transported to St. Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau by Airevac.
Bozeman and his passenger, Dorothy M. Bozeman, suffered minor injuries in the accident. The Fairdealing residents were transported by ambulance to Ripley County Memorial Hospital. Missouri accidents involving U-turns stress the importance of defensive driving. When the driver attempting the U-turn does not take into consideration the oncoming traffic speed or distance, it can be devastating. Drivers of oncoming traffic may not realize the type of turn being made and do not have enough time to adjust their speed or change lanes. Passive driving such as these examples increase the risks in Missouri car accidents. Missouri offers many defensive driving courses throughout the year to reduce the number of accidents related to passive driving by teaching drivers how to anticipate dangerous situations and avoid traffic collisions. Regular driver’s education courses offered in high schools usually only teach the basics of driving and rules of the road. Missouri defensive driving courses offer drivers the skills to go beyond the basic mechanics and prepare them for many different situations on the road. Basic driver’s education will discuss whether or not a U-turn is legal in certain situations, but a defensive driving course will teach how to react to an unexpected or illegal U-turn to avoid a Missouri car accident. All drivers should invest their time into a defensive driving course to better prepare them for many roadway situations. There are many ways a negligent driver can be dangerous on the road. When a driver does not pay attention or makes a dangerous decision, victims have to deal with the stress of the accident. Defensive driving courses can help you prepare for dangerous situations, but occasionally an accident is unavoidable. If you have been injured in a Missouri car accident, please consult an experienced car accident attorney immediately. Seeking legal counsel soon after an accident is essential to building a case against the negligent driver and having a defensive driving course may help you in your claim for compensation. Call 888.956.2487 to discuss your motor vehicle accident claim and let us investigate for you. ************************************************** Joshua P.

 A multivehicle Missouri car accident on Independence Day leaves seven young adults injured. The car accident occurred at 1:30 a.m. in Cass County, Missouri on MO-58 just east of Prairie Lane. The multivehicle Missouri car accident began as 18-year-old Brandyn P. Stewart’s 2003 Pontiac Grand AM struck the rear of 21-year-old Jereth D. Schrock’s 2000 Ford Mustang. The force of the accident caused Schrock’s vehicle to pull off the right side of the road into a nearby field.
Stewart’s vehicle continued down the road and made its way across the centerline. Stewart hit 18-year-old Trevor D. Williams’ 2003 Dodge 1500 head-on. Williams’ vehicle rolled several times until it stopped off the highway. A total of seven people were injured in the multivehicle Missouri car accident. Trevor D. Williams and his passengers, 18-year-old Joshua A. Ogan, and 17-year-old Taylor N. Hood, were seriously injured in the accident. Jereth D. Schrock and one of his passengers, 20-year-old Emily K. Warren sustained moderate injuries. His other passenger, 18-year-old Jaque J. Willis sustained only minor injuries. The young adults injured in the multivehicle Missouri car accident were taken to local hospitals Truman Medical Center, Research Hospital, Overland Park Regional, and KU Medical Center by Belton EMS, South Metro EMS, Lifeflight Eagle, and a private vehicle. The accident report did not specify whether or not alcohol played a role in the accident. Holiday celebrations increase the risk of alcohol-related accident since many festivities include drinking. In 2008, statistics showed that alcohol-related accidents contributed to more than 3,500 car accidents. Dealing with an alcohol-related accident can be stressful for many Missouri car accident victims. Every person who is in an alcohol-related Missouri car accident should do the following: Meet with an experienced Missouri car accident attorney, take a defensive driving course, and seek counseling if needed. An experienced Missouri car accident attorney will help the injured party recover for medical bills, pain, and suffering. A defensive driving course will help the car accident victim to be as prepared as possible to avoid car accidents in the future. Sometimes counseling for Missouri car accident victims is necessary if the injuries are severe or a loved one was lost in the same accident. If you are injured in an alcohol-related car accident, contact our experienced Missouri car accident attorneys at 888.956.2487 and we can help you with the rest and fight for your rights as a victim. ******************************************************** Joshua P.

 A Missouri head-on car accident on April 18, 2011 left four Missourians including a small child in Lafayette County, Missouri injured. The vehicles involved in the head-on collision were driving in opposite directions along the center line of Rolling Hill a little further east of MO-213. A 2004 Hyundai driven by 23-year-old Melanie R. Dysart of Dover, Missouri was traveling eastbound in the center of the road. A 1989 Nissan driven by 19-year-old Tiffany R. Earnest of Higginsville, Missouri was traveling westbound, also in the center of the road. The two vehicles crashed on a hill.
Most of the victims in the Missouri head-on collision were not wearing their safety belts. Tiffany Earnest suffered serious injuries and was taken to the Research Medical Center in Kansas City, Missouri by Higginsville E.M.S. Tiffany Earnest’s passenger, 22-year-old Gary J. Earnest was also seriously injured in the Missouri head-on collision and taken to Truman Medical Center by Lifelight Eagle air ambulance. Melanie Dysart was moderately injured in the Missouri car accident and was taken to Centerpoint Hospital by Higginsville E.M.S. Considering the severity of the Missouri head-on collision, one-year-old Tilian Sinkler only suffered minor injuries from the accident. Fortunately, the toddler was the only passenger in the accident to be secured properly by a safety belt. Missouri has child passenger laws to protect the safety of children in the event of an accident. Experienced Missouri car accident attorneys know the child passenger laws and can use these laws to help victims receive compensation. If you or a child you know is injured in a Missouri car accident, please contact one of our Missouri car accident attorney immediately at 888.956.2487 for a free consultation. ***************************************************** Joshua P.

 One man was killed and another injured in a Missouri car accident when two F150s collided on Route H in Perry County Missouri on April 4, 2011. 39-year-old Michael Tomkins of Herrin, Illinois was driving on Route H when his wheel slipped off the roadway. Tomkins overcorrected his 1998 Ford F150, which caused him to slightly travel off the other side of the road. Cape Girardeau resident, 44-year-old James Buck tried to swerve his 2004 Ford F150 to miss Tomkins, but they collided. As a result, Buck’s truck overturned.
The Assistant Coroner pronounced Tomkins dead at the scene of the accident at 8:45 am. Buck was taken to the Perry County Memorial Hospital by ambulance with moderate injuries. Both trucks were totaled and Tomkins was reportedly not wearing his safety belt. Missouri statute §307.178 requires that all drivers and passengers in the front seat wear a seat belt. Missouri safety advocates have repeatedly pushed to change the law. MoDOT and the state transportation director want lawmakers to change §307.178 to allow primary enforcement. Primary enforcement would allow law enforcement to pull over cars in which some is not wearing a seatbelt. Safety advocates additionally want the law to require all passengers to wear a safety belt, not just front seat passengers. While on the road, you should always be safe. Wearing a seatbelt isn’t an option anymore even though law enforcement officers won’t pull someone over just because they are not wearing a seat belt. Even when you drive carefully, there are other people on the road that you can’t control and Missouri motor vehicle accidents happen. If a negligent driver injures you, call 888.956.2487 to speak to an experienced Missouri motor vehicle accident attorney to discuss your claim and your rights as a victim. ************************************************** Joshua P.

 Two residents from Marston, Missouri were killed over the holiday weekend. The fatal car accident happened at Morehouse on US-60 and MO-114. The Missouri car accident happened as Charlie S. Hammons pulled his 1998 Ford into the pat of Bryian G. Brown’s 1996 Chevrolet. Brown’s vehicle slammed in to Hammons’ vehicle, which pushed both vehicles off the road. Although all occupants in Hammond’s vehicle were wearing seatbelts, Hammond’s was ejected from the Ford.
Hammons was taken to St. Francis Hospital for medical treatment by Air Evac, but the 93-year-old was pronounced dead by the Cape Girardeau Coroner. Essie P. Hammons, the 87-year-old occupant of Hammons, was pronounced dead at the scene of the Missouri car accident by Stoddard County Coroner. The only survivor in the Ford was a teenager. George D. Brown of New Madrid, Missouri suffered moderate injuries and was taken to Missouri Delta Medical Center by ambulance. In the event of a Missouri car accident that results in the death of the at-fault driver, many injured victims wonder how they will recover damages. The ability to sue an at-fault driver even after his or her death depends on whether or not the jurisdiction has passed a law called a survival statute. Survival statutes determine that a personal injury case will survive even if the at-fault party does not. Missouri’s survival statute is Missouri statute §537.020. This statute states that the cause of action for personal injuries “shall not abate” because the at-fault party has passed away. The personal injury cause of action survives to be a representative of the deceased party. Missouri statute §537.020 authorizes the probate court to appoint a representative for the at-fault driver. Bring a claim against a deceased at-fault driver is many times referred to as “suing the estate of the deceased.” The Missouri car accident victim will not receive a lesser settlement just because the defendant is deceased. Missouri law determines that “the liability and the measure of damages shall not be the same as if such death or deaths had not occurred.” If the Missouri car accident victim had received a judgment of $50,000 against a living defendant, the accident victim would receive a $50,000 settlement against the deceased. While on the road, drivers have a responsibility to other motorists to make responsible decisions. If you are injured or lose a loved one in a Missouri car accident where the at-fault driver passes away before you are able to make a settlement, call a Missouri car accident attorney immediately. An experienced Missouri car accident attorney will understand how to use Missouri’s survival statute to receive compensation for your injuries or your loss. Call 888.956.2487 and speak to one of our experienced Missouri car accident attorneys today and let us take some of the stress of a car accident off your shoulders. **************************************** Joshua P.

 A car accident in Johnson County, Missouri leaves a teen from Lee’s Summit seriously injured. A woman from Ohio was also injured in the multivehicle car accident, which occurred at 4:20 p.m. on MO-10 on June 13, 2011. Lee’s Summit resident, 17-year-old Jackson J. Hill, attempted to pass the 2003 Chevrolet driven by Angela D. Hardy of Warrensburg. In the process of passing in his 2002 Honda, Hill clipped the left rear corner of Hardy’s vehicle. After colliding with Hardy’s Chevrolet, Hill collided with a 1997 Honda driven by John M. Gallagher from Independence. As a result of the multivehicle accident, Hill was ejected from his vehicle. Hill sustained serious injuries and was transported to Research Hospital in Kansas City, Missouri by LifeFlight EMS. A passenger of Gallagher’s vehicle, Tammy S. Mahan from Ohio, was taken by Johnson County EMS to Centerpoint Hospital in Independence, Missouri for treatment. The Missouri Highway Patrol reported that an investigation into the accident has been launched and that charges are pending.
As Johnson County, Missouri becomes more populated, car accidents are becoming more frequent. The population in the Missouri County is increasing because of resident overflow from Kansas City, Missouri. As the population continues to grow, traffic accidents also increase. In 2009 there were over 1,000 car accidents in Johnson County, Missouri. The residents of Johnson County should consider taking a defensive driving course to defend against negligent drivers. Missouri defensive driving courses help teach drivers techniques to avoid traffic collisions. These courses also teach drivers how to compensate for poor road conditions, prevent accidents, and deal with aggression while driving. There are many ways a negligent driver can be dangerous on the road. When a driver does not pay attention or makes a dangerous decision, victims have to deal with the stress of the accident. Defensive driving courses can help you prepare for dangerous situations, but occasionally an accident is unavoidable.
