Jefferson County Car Accident Lawyers
Help for Victims of Car Accidents
Injury car accidents often result in significant financial and physical burdens for the victims involved. Injured victims often face expenses such as medical costs and loss of earnings. The claims process can become complicated if the other motorist denies responsibility for the crash or an insurance company denies the claim. In such cases, it would be in victims’ best interests to contact an experienced Jefferson County accident attorney in order to determine their legal rights and options.
Common Traffic Violations that Cause Car Accidents
Proving liability for a car accident can become easier if the authorities cite the other driver for a traffic violation. Here are a few examples of traffic violations that may result in a serious injury car collision in Missouri:
- Driving under the Influence: Under Missouri Revised Statute (MRS) Chapter 577.010, drivers may not operate a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol concentration of .08 percent or higher. Motorists with alcohol in their blood have an increased chance of causing and being involved in a fatal Jefferson County car accident.
- Speeding: Driving at an unsafe rate of speed continues to be one of the most common causes of serious injury car accidents in Missouri. MRS 304.010 requires all drivers to stay below the speed limit and to drive a speed relative to roadway and traffic conditions.
- Failure to Obey Traffic Devices: Many intersection collisions in Missouri involve a motorist running a red light or stop sign. MRS 304.271 requires all motorists to obey the instructions of any official traffic-control device applicable.
- Reckless Driving: Some motorists cause serious injury accidents by driving dangerously and without care for the well being of others.
Recovering Damages Suffered in a Jefferson County Crash
Injured victims may pursue financial compensation by filing a claim with the at-fault party’s insurance company. If it becomes clear that the insurance company will deny the claim or offer a settlement that does not cover the losses sustained in the crash, the injured victims may have it in his or her best interest to speak with an experienced car crash attorney.
