Car Accidents Can Strike at Any Time

Our roads and highways can be dangerous places. In 2011, one person was injured in a Missouri traffic crash every 10.3 minutes. In total, the state had 142,966 traffic crashes, which resulted in 786 fatalities and 51,060 personal injuries.

Careless drivers are often responsible for motor vehicle accidents.

Types of Auto Accidents

At Lowther Johnson Attorneys at Law, LLC, we handle a wide variety of automobile, pedestrian, motorcycle, and truck accident cases caused by negligent drivers, including:

  • Rear-end collisions — So-called “fender-benders” are often caused by drivers who follow too closely or underestimate the time it takes to stop the vehicle.
  • Head-on accidents — Crashes often occur when an impaired, distracted, or drowsy driver inadvertently strays into the path of an oncoming vehicle.
  • Sideswipe wrecks — Sideswipe accidents occur when drivers merge or change lanes without making sure the path is clear.
  • Side impact crashes — T-bone accidents frequently occur at intersections when drivers run a red light, drive through a stop sign or fail to yield.
  • Distracted driving collisions — Using a cellphone to talk or text behind the wheel takes the driver’s attention from the road and can lead to a car crash or pedestrian accident.
  • Drunk driving accidents — Alcohol and drug impairment can severely interfere with a driver’s ability to operate a vehicle safely.
  • High-speed crashes — Racing, driving too fast for conditions, or exceeding the posted speed limit can cause a serious car, truck, or motorcycle accident.

What to Do After a Car Accident

Following an auto accident, it is important to remain calm and take care of your personal safety. That means waiting in a safe place for police to arrive and obtaining medical attention for any injuries. If you can do so, you should exchange information with the other driver(s) involved. Key information to obtain includes the name, address, phone number, insurance company, policy number, driver’s license number, and license plate number for the driver and the owner of each vehicle. Do not admit fault for the accident, even if you suspect you may have played a role.

As soon as possible, you should also document and photograph the accident scene. The documentation process, which may prove valuable in later proving a personal injury claim, includes:

  • Filing a police report
  • Collecting the names, phone numbers, and addresses of witnesses
  • Taking pictures of the scene, the damage to the vehicle, and your injuries
  • Writing down the location and circumstances of the crash, including the time of day, weather conditions, and potential causes

Don’t Go It Alone When Dealing with Insurance Companies

Auto accident victims often face serious financial, physical, and emotional challenges. You need an experienced ally in your corner who understands the law and the insurance claims process.

You should always consult a personal injury attorney before speaking with an insurance adjuster or signing any type of release. An insurance adjuster is trained to minimize the number of payments to injured persons. If the insurance company knows that you do not have legal representation, it will often pressure you to settle your claim quickly for much less than it is worth. Our dedicated auto-accident lawyers can carefully analyze your claim and calculate your losses, which may include medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

There are many critical decisions that must be made following an automobile accident such as submitting medical bills to health insurers, obtaining payments under medical payment provisions of car insurance policies, and properly documenting your claim. The decisions you make can drastically affect the total amount of settlement you can recover from the car accident. Our personal injury attorneys can guide you through this process and help you make the decisions that will maximize your recovery.
