You Deserve To Be Fully Compensated For Your Injuries

When A Car Wreck Leaves You Injured

Car accidents are common; car “accidents” are not. Someone is usually at fault for causing or contributing to the cause of a collision. In Missouri and Kansas, operators of motor vehicles must exercise the highest degree of care, which is what a careful person would use under the same or similar circumstances. In both instances, failure to use the highest degree of care or reasonable care is negligence.

A person who negligently operates a motor vehicle and causes a collision may be required to pay for the harm caused. This includes medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The lives of victims of auto collisions can change dramatically, from high medical bills to missing work to physical pain to decreased quality of life.

From Routine Drive To Life-Altering Event

According to data from the Missouri Highway Patrol, there were 33,269 injury-related car accidents in Missouri in 2020, in which 987 people were killed and 47,894 people were injured. Thus, there were 91 injury-related crashes each day, or nearly 1 injury-related crash every 15 minutes. Further, an average of 131 people were injured per day, or over 5 people per hour. Data from the Kansas Department of Transportation paints a similar picture. There were 11,677 injury-related auto crashes in Kansas in 2020, which killed 382 people. All of this occurred in a year when driving was significantly reduced because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Each year, thousands of Missourians and Kansans are injured because of car crashes and many rely on the expertise of experienced Missouri and Kansas car accident attorneys to help guide them through the aftermath of these difficult situations.
