Car Accidents in St. Charles, Missouri
Between 2012 and 2014, more than 2,300 victims lost their lives in accidents throughout the state. Thousands more are left with life-changing injuries that require extensive medical care. Reports provided by the Missouri Department of Transportation and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration show that the state of Missouri ranks 19th out of all 50 states for the likelihood of people being involved in fatal collisions.
Not being able to work while being overwhelmed with tens of thousands of dollars in medical bills not only impacts victims but their families as well. It does not seem right that victims who are injured in accidents as a result of the actions of others are forced to spend substantial amounts of money on treatment.
Being forced out of work to deal with these injuries can make it extremely challenging to cover the cost of care. For this reason, our state allows injured victims to pursue legal options that help them obtain compensation to cover the financial burdens they face moving forward. When victims are injured in accidents resulting from the negligence of other motorists, it is important that they seek legal guidance as soon as possible.
