 A multiple vehicle car accident and three injured Missourians was the result of a car chase in Taney County. On June 4, 2011 around 8:10 p.m. on Route F close to Branson, Missouri Bernard H. Johnson was pursuing Benjamin K. Sanders. The accident occurred as Sanders drove his 1982 Honda Gold Wing on Route F as Johnson chased him in his 2004 Ford Crown Victoria. During the pursuit, Sanders crossed the centerline of the road and hit Jodi M. Ebersol’s 1997 Ford Taurus head on. The force of that head-on collision pushed Ebersol into another head-on collision with Johnson’s vehicle. All vehicles involved in the accident were totaled. 37-year old Ebersol received serious injuries in the accident. 31-year-old suffered moderate injuries and 69-year-old Johnson only suffered minor injuries in the Missouri car accident. It is unclear why Johnson was pursuing Sanders in the first place.
Missouri car accidents that involve more than two vehicles are considered multivehicle accidents. Determining the at-fault driver in a multivehicle car accident can be difficult because multiple drivers can cause possible negligence. Disputes over the factual evidence as to which party was the direct cause of an accident becomes more complex the more drivers that are involved. Understanding what to do after a Missouri multivehicle accident is vital for making the best case to receive compensation for injuries sustained in the accident. If possible, your first course of action should be to call 911 and report the accident and any known injuries. Even if there are no serious injuries to be reported, having an accident report on record will benefit your personal injury case. If the accident is not recorded with the local police department, the responsible parties may change his or her story, which will prompt his or her insurance company to offer less in compensation. Your second course of action after alerting the local authorities is to take pictures of the accident. Photographs are excellent evidence for personal injury cases that involve Missouri car accidents. Pictures should be taken before the clean-up crew moves the vehicles from the road. Your third course of action would to be to get medical treatment for any injuries. Of course if you sustained serious injuries, this would be your fist course of action. When the ambulance reports to the accident, do not refuse medical treatment. Describe any pain, no matter how small or minor, to the paramedics. Your final course of action after a Missouri car accident is to follow up with your doctor. Many times car accident victims will not show symptoms of injuries until later. Most common injuries to show delayed symptoms are the very serious injuries to the brain or spinal cord. There are many ways a driver can be negligent, which is dangerous to motorist. In this case, pursuing another driver at high speeds puts other’s lives at risk. When a driver makes dangerous decisions, Missouri car accident victims have to deal with the stress of his or her injuries and property damage. 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 build a case against a negligent driver. Call 888.956.2487 to discuss your motor vehicle accident claim and let us investigate for you. ************************************************************ Joshua P.

 A Missouri car accident in Newton County injures six people from Granby and Monett. The Missouri car accident occurred on US 60 just three miles east of Granby at 6:45 p.m. on June 6, 2011. Just before the accident, Pam L. Sternes of Granby, Missouri waited to make a left turn in her 2002 Ford Windstar. Matthew D. Tucker of Neosho, Missouri was unable to stop his 1997 Volkswagen Jetta and rear-ended Sternes’ van. The collision forced Sternes’ van into oncoming traffic resulting in a head-on collision with Sharrie L. Harman of Monett, Missouri. Harman’s 2006 Dodge Charger along with the other vehicles involved in the accident was totaled.
Two drivers, Hartman and Sternes, were seriously injured in the Missouri car accident. Hartman was taken to Cox South Hospital in Springfield, Missouri and Sternes was taken to Freeman West Hospital in Joplin, Missouri. Four other injuries were reported from the minors that occupied Sternes’ Windstar: 10-year-old Nathan C. Sternes, 12-year-old Lauren Sternes, 13-year-old Kyle A. Sternes, and 14-year-old Cotton C. Jones. It is unknown the extent of the minors’ injuries. In Missouri car accidents, governed by state tort law, injured individuals should receive compensation. Missouri tort laws allow victims of car accidents to recover losses caused by the at-fault driver and their insurance company. In some cases, Missouri car accident victims cannot receive full compensation with a lawsuit because the at-fault driver does not have adequate insurance or files for bankruptcy. Before 1987, Missouri car accident victims would not have received full compensation for their losses. However in 1987, a Missouri legislation was passed that established the Missouri Tort Victims’ Compensation Fund to help compensate victims who are not able to receive compensation through a lawsuit. Missouri car accident victims who have obtained a judgment for a wrongful death or personal injury lawsuit, but are unable to collect the full amount of compensation are eligible to file a claim for the Missouri Tort Fund. Missouri accident victims who settle for the maximum amount of compensation from the at-fault driver’s liability insurance without being fully compensated for their losses are also eligible to file a claim for the Missouri Tort Fund. Some family members are also able to file a claim if the victim is deceased as a result of injuries from the Missouri car accident. The driver of a passenger vehicle has a duty to exercise reasonable care while driving. If a driver does not exercise care while driving, he or she can seriously injure other people on the road. An experienced Missouri car accident attorney can argue that the at-fault driver was negligent in his or her actions and did not act with reasonable diligence. If you are involved in a Missouri car accident with a negligent driver, call 888.956.2487 and speak to one of our experienced Missouri car accident attorneys. Our knowledge will build a case of neglect against the distracted driver. ******************************************************* Joshua P.

 Get Your Copy of the FREE Missouri Car Accident Book Syreeta A. Holland is at DePaul hospital after being injured in a Missouri rear-end car collision that was caused by a driver distracted on March 25, 2011 at 23:45. According to the Missouri Highway Patrol, Paul E. Johnson was not paying attention and did not realize that traffic had stopped in front of him on eastbound I-70. Johnson collided with a 2001 Chevrolet Tahoe and 2005 Nissan Armada before changing lanes and swiping two other cars, a 2008 Mercedes and a 2008 Saturn Astro before ending up in the median. Holland, who was driving the 2008 Mercedes, was the only Missouri car accident victim to report injuries. The Northeast Fire and EMS transported her to DePaul Hospital. The other drivers, LaAngela A. Tompkins, Bertha C. Himes, and John N. Wulf were not injured. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) rates driver inattention as the main factor in most Missouri car accidents. In a research report done in conjunction with the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute, the NHTSA found that 80 percent of accidents involve driver inattention within three seconds before the event. Mobile phone use and drowsiness are the main causes of driver inattention. The study emphasized that conditions change quickly so drivers cannot predict when it is safe to look down from the road. Motorists should avoid driving distractions such as applying makeup or using mobile electronic devices while driving. The driver of a motor vehicle has a duty to exercise reasonable care while driving. If a distracted driver was distracted by eating or talking on a cell phone, an experienced Missouri car accident lawyer can argue that the driver violated his duty to act with reasonable diligence. 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. Our knowledge will build a case of neglect against the distracted driver. I understand that the responsible driver in this case did not intend to cause any harm. But drivers have to be vigilant with safety when they are guiding 1000 pound machines down the road. What we often look for in the case goes beyond the crash itself. Rather, we investigate deeper to find out why the crash occurred. The reason we do this is a lot of personal injury lawyers who try cases make the mistake of just telling the jury that the defendant hit the person in the rear-end. I’ve seen a lot of cases lost because the jury thinks the Defendant has to be guilty of some kind of intent to harm a person before they can render a verdict of the plaintiff (the injured person). So they rationalize a verdict in favor of the defendant by saying, “it was an accident, and sometimes accidents happen”. NOT TRUE!! Accidents do not just happen. Accidents happen when someone is not being careful. So why did the person in this case crash into the rear of the vehicles. Why was Mr. Johnson not paying attention? Perhaps he was fooling with the radio, maybe talking on the phone, maybe texting, etc. These are the types of things that we must discover in these cases so that we can PROVE that this was not just an accident, but that it was a breach of Mr. Johnson’s duty, and every person’s duty, to be extremely careful when driving. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

 Teenagers are risk takers and sometimes it can be dangerous, especially when a risk involves a motor vehicle. As a St. Louis car accident attorney, I was disappointed to read about a serious accident involving a 17-year-old girl and drag racing in St. Louis, Missouri. The teenage girl is still in serious condition at the St. Louis University Hospital after an illegal drag race got out of control.
In northern part of downtown in St. Louis, the teenage victim was acting as the “flag girl” for the drag race and was struck by the two vehicles racing. She was first hit by a Mitsubishi Eclipse, which sent her into the path of a truck. The Eclipse and truck were racing and took off after the 17-year-old was struck. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of the two drivers on charges for leaving the scene of an accident and vehicular assault. The bystanders of the drag race called 911 and attended to the victim’s injuries. Drag racing is a dangerous sport because a motor vehicle could easily turn into a dangerous weapon if the driver is not careful. Pedestrians are in just as much danger as the drivers because a driver can easily lose control of a vehicle at a high speed. Racing and driving at an excessive speed are often considered to be negligent behavior and victims of these negligent behaviors have the right to file a civil lawsuit to receive compensation for their injuries. I wanted to discuss this case because it highlights a little known aspect of Missouri injury law – joint venture. In Missouri, not only can the person who actually caused the damage be held responsible, but so can all of the people involved. Thus, both of the drivers were engaging in this joint venture of illegal drag racing. Both can probably be held responsible. Additionally, there may be others who are equally liable. This would depend on how well organized the event is. In cases like this, the most critical aspect is the discovery phase where the injury attorney gathers all the necessary facts and finds everyone who could possibly be held liable. It’s not done to punish those involved, but rather it is more about finding all of the insurance coverage that could possibly apply. This is especially true in cases like this where the young girl was seriously injured. When a driver is negligent and causes serious injury or death, the outcome can be devastating. Not only do the car accident victims have to deal with a totaled vehicle, but they also have to deal with medical treatment, medical bills, and insurance companies. If you have been injured or lost a loved one in a car accident, don’t fight alone. Hire an experienced Missouri car accident attorney to fight for your rights as a victim. Call 888.956.2487 to discuss your claim with one of our experienced attorneys and let us fight for you. ************************************************* Joshua P.

 Drivers know how dangerous it is to combine alcohol or drugs with driving, but still many lives are lost each year to the combination. Serious injury or a fatality as the result of impaired driving are devastating, but Missouri car accident attorneys can use the defendant’s actions to positively affect the outcome of an injury or wrongful death claim. There is a lot of information available for alcohol-related car accidents, but very little information on drug-related car accidents.
A new National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) report on drug use in fatal car accidents was released. There have been numerous studies on how alcohol contributes to fatal car accidents, but this is the first study that addresses the issue of drug impairment contributions to car accidents. The study only focused on accidents that resulted in a fatality, but it verifies that more effort needs to be put into training officers of the law to spot drug impairment. According to the 2009 study, 21,798 were killed in a motor vehicle accident. Of the fatalities, 13,750 were test for drug use by the NHTSA. Out of the fatalities tested for drugs, 3,952 drivers tested positive for a narcotic at the time of the crash. The data may show a strong correlation between alcohol and car accidents, but more studies need to be done to have conclusive evidence that drug impairment has the same correlation. As an effort to gather more information, over 6,000 law enforcement officers from 46 states have trained to recognize a driver who is impaired by both drugs and alcohol. With more information, victims of both alcohol and drug-related accident will have a better outcome in a civil court. If you have been injured or lost a loved on in an alcohol-related accident, call 888.956.2487 to speak to an experienced Missouri car accident attorney to discuss your claim. ****************************************************** Joshua P.

 Kimberly Scott Car Accident Staying alert on the road is important for the safety of everyone. When a driver is not paying attention, the result can be fatal. As a Missouri car accident attorney, I was bothered to read about a head-on collision caused by an uninsured driver in Linn Creek, Missouri that sent a woman to the hospital with serious injuries. On January 3, 2011, around 4:45 p.m. the collision occurred on HIghway 54 in Camden County, Missouri, that caused serious and moderate injuries to two people. Kimberly Scott of Linn Creek, Missouri, was driving a 2009 Toyota eastbound on U.S. Highway 54 about a mile west of Route AA. At that time and place, Steven Owens of Macks Creek, Missouri, was the driving westbound on Highway 54 in a 1998 Ford. Owens crossed the centerline and collided head-on with Scott. The impact caused Scott’s Toyota to cross the centerline, where she was hit by another westbound vehicle. Kimberly Scott had serious injuries and was transported by ambulance to Lake Regional Hospital. At-fault driver, Steven Owens, had moderate injuries and was also transported by ambulance to Lake Regional Hospital. The third driver of the vehicle unharmed. The motor vehicles of Kimberly Scott and Steven Owens were totaled from the accident, and the third vehicle only had moderate damage. Steven Owens did not have auto insurance. This crash highlights the importance of having uninsured motorist coverage. This is a type of coverage that each person carriers on their own automobile insurance whether they know it or not. When the driver who hits you is uninsured, or it’s a hit and run accident, then your insurance company acts as if it was the insurance company for the person responsible for your injuries. Unfortunately, this often means that they will try and low-ball you just as the other person’s car insurance would do. However, the added protection you have in these cases, is that, if your insurance company will not be fair, they can be sued not only for your injuries, but also under a little-known Missouri law called vexatious refusal to pay. This allows you to ask a jury, not only for compensation for your injuries, but also for penalties and attorney’s fees for the way the insurance company handled your claim. This is one of my favorite types of cases because insurance companies are never fair and it is satisfying to be able to expose their tactics to a jury. ******************************************************* Joshua P.

 A train collided with a vehicle in St. Louis on Saturday evening, which closed the track to the west of downtown. Five people were injured in the train accident. Two people were injured in the vehicle and three people on the train were injured. According to the officials and the Belleville News Democrat, the driver of the vehicle apparently was lost after crossing the railway, turned around and crossed the tracks again in front of the train.
Police said that in the early stages of their investigation that the stop arm was working properly. Victims of train accidents are often severely or fatally injured due to the speed and sheer speed of the train. Accidents often occur at crossings because it is the area where cars often cross the train tracks. Although the federal and state security agencies like the Federal Republic Railway Association try to make rail transport safer, motorists must be vigilant regarding safety while driving. Look both ways twice before crossing the tracks and look for flashing lights and lowered gates. Turn down a stereo or music so you can hear the bells and warning signs will also help a motorist crossing when a train is on track. It is rare that the crossbars or flashing lights do not working properly. It is always important to slow down when arriving at a railway crossing and stop and look both ways. If you or a loved one is a victim of a train accident, it is important to call a Missouri personal injury attorney immediately. Medical expenses and lost wages can rise quickly and the financial security of a victim can be quickly jeopardized.

 You’ve read many times about the effect alcohol can have when paired with a motor vehicle. Thousands of people die every year in alcohol-related car crashes. As a Missouri car accident attorney, I was disappointed to read that another drunk driver has taken the life of another innocent victim. On December 10, 2010, three vehicles were involved in a drunk driver accident that claimed
On Friday December 10, 2010 around 11:30 p.m. a three-car accident killed one man and sent two to the hospital with serious injuries. Around 11:30 p.m. A 33-year-old man from Swansea was driving his Lincoln east on St. Clair Avenue near 70th Street when a Dodge Neon driving well over the speed limit crossed the centerline and hit him head-on. As a result of the head-on collision, the Lincoln caught on fire and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver of the Neon, an 18-year-old Belleville man was taken to the hospital with serious injuries. The passenger of the Neon was not wearing his seatbelt and was ejected from the vehicle. The 21-year-old from Fairview Heights was also taken to the hospital for serious injuries. When the head-on collision occurred, the engine block of the Neon became detached and hit a Dodge Ram truck driving by a 22-year-old man from Belleville. The driver of the Ram was not injured. According to authorities, the 18-year-old driver of the Neon was under the influence of alcohol and a full investigation is in progress. The negligence of a motorist who decides to drive under the influence of alcohol can be devastating. Not only will the drunk driver face criminal charges, but they will also face the civil courts. If you or someone you love has been injured or died at the hands of a drunk driver, call 888.956.2487 today.

 When a person is injured in a Missouri motor vehicle accident, their life turns upside down as they receive treatment for their injuries and begin to recover. As a Missouri car accident attorney, I know how difficult a civil lawsuit can be for accident victims, but the challenge is usually worth it in the end. A lot of potential clients ask me how difficult it is to receive compensation for an injury, if they have unrelated medical conditions or unrelated medical treatment. The answer is not always so simple.
Plaintiff lawyers do what they can to keep certain evidence from being heard by a jury such as unrelated medical issues. Unrelated medical treatment can be damaging to a motor vehicle accident victim, but it is not always relevant to the accident in question. I see many defense attorneys try to bring up a Missouri motor vehicle accident victim’s unrelated injuries to convince a jury to award a lower compensation amount. In the Missouri civil case, Senter v. Ferguson, the court allowed the defense attorney to question the Plaintiff about her unrelated injuries that she sustained many years before the motor vehicle accident. The defense argued that the unrelated medical condition was relevant to the case because the Plaintiff said she was in “good health” before the accident occurred. The appellate court of Missouri reversed the motor vehicle accident injury case partially because the Plaintiff’s prior condition was unrelated to her condition after the accident. The Missouri appellate court said, “While we are dubious that this evidence, stretching as it did over a period of seventeen years and covering the ages of 43 to 60, served its purpose of impeachment, we could not sanction its admission even if it did serve the purpose. Irrelevant and immaterial evidence does not become admissible simply to impeach a witness.” This means that even though the medical condition did affect the Plaintiff for a period of time in her life, but the condition did not contribute to the injuries sustained in the Missouri motor vehicle accident. When a driver makes a negligent decision and causes a Missouri motor vehicle accident, the outcome can be life altering for those who are injured. The accident victim has more than enough to worry about without worrying if their civil case will be hurt because of past medical conditions. Motor vehicle accident victims need an experienced attorney on their side to fight for their rights in the courtroom. Our experienced Missouri car wreck attorneys are standing by at 888.956.2487 to help motor vehicle accident victims through a difficult time and stand up for them in court. ******************************************* Joshua P.

 Everyone knows that the winter months can be dangerous because everyone is traveling at the same time. Every year in Missouri, the number of car accidents increase over the busy winter weekends. As a motor vehicle accident attorney in Missouri, I am pleased to let everyone know that the Missouri State Highway Patrol is taking steps to make the holiday season safer for drivers.
This year the Missouri State Highway Patrol is participating in a program called Operation CARE. According to HeartlandConnection.com, CARE stands for Combined Accident Reduction Effort and is a program held on a national level to reduce holiday accidents on the busiest travel season of the year. All available highway troopers will be patrolling the Missouri highways during the operation. The troopers of the Missouri Highway Patrol play a major role in keeping the roads safe all year long, but this weekend they will be on high alert. We all know that following traffic laws is one of the best ways to avoid being in a motor vehicle accident, but we don’t always follow the rules. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, the Missouri Highway Patrol will be aggressively imposing Missouri’s traffic laws and supporting motorists in an emergency. Last year, Missouri has six motor vehicle accident fatalities, so Operation CARE aims to reduce that number and have a safer holiday. This winter season, please be careful on the road. With an estimated 42 million drivers on the road this season, prepare yourself for more traffic, longer driving times, and winter weather. If you are injured in an accident over the holiday weekend, call an experienced Missouri motor vehicle accident attorney. An experienced attorney will lower the stress of filing a claim, so you can recover from your injuries. You have enough to worry about over the holidays, let our experienced Missouri Car Accident Attorneys help you.
