Fatal Car Accidents in Missouri
Every year in Missouri, fatal car crashes tragically end the lives of hundreds of innocent individuals. Despite the efforts of many drivers who operate their vehicles with caution and respect for fellow motorists, we still witness innocent lives being lost due to the negligence of those who do not adhere to safe driving practices. Some of the leading factors in the fatal crashes across our state include:
- Ignoring traffic signals and signs
- Failure to yield at crosswalks
- Distracted driving
- Poor visibility conditions
- Speeding
- Drunk driving
Unfortunately, the loss of a loved one due to someone else's negligence is an all too common reality in our state. It is important for families to know that they have the right to seek justice and hold those responsible accountable through a wrongful death claim. The support and guidance of an experienced Kansas City wrongful death lawyer can make all the difference in this difficult process. We urge anyone who has suffered such a devastating loss to reach out for legal assistance and fight for the justice their loved one deserves.
Missouri's pure comparative negligence statute allows for compensation even if the injured party holds some portion of the blame, as long as other parties are also accountable. However, the compensation you receive will be diminished to account for the extent of your loved one's responsibility for the accident. Therefore, it is crucial to seek legal counsel to gather compelling evidence demonstrating the defendant's fault in the accident.
