Fatal Pedestrian Accidents in Missouri
Fatal pedestrian collisions occur far too often in Missouri. Every year, countless families are forced to deal with the overwhelming consequences that these accidents bring. Unfortunately, many of these accidents are preventable. Some of the most common causes of these accidents include:
- Speeding
- Failure to yield at
- Drunk driving
- Ignoring traffic signals and signs
- Distracted driving
- Poor visibility conditions
It is a heartbreaking reality that accidents caused by negligence continue to claim the lives of innocent people every year.

By filing a wrongful death claim against the responsible party, they can seek justice and financial compensation for their loss. In such difficult times, it is crucial to seek guidance from an experienced Missouri wrongful death lawyer who can help navigate the legal process and ensure you receive the support you need during this difficult time.
Missouri's pure comparative negligence law offers a unique opportunity for those who have been injured or lost a loved one in an accident. It allows for compensation to be awarded even if the injured party is found to be partially at fault, as long as others involved also bear some responsibility. This makes it crucial to have a skilled legal team by your side when navigating wrongful death cases to ensure that you receive the maximum amount of compensation possible. The loss of a loved one is never easy, but knowing that there are avenues available to help alleviate the financial burden can offer some peace of mind during this difficult time.
