Car Accidents in Missouri

In Missouri, over 65,000 individuals are injured in car accidents each year. When trucks are involved, the chances of victims sustaining severe physical and emotional injuries are much higher due to the sheer size and weight of commercial vehicles. These injuries can have a lasting impact, requiring substantial time and financial resources to recover from.

The aftermath of a truck accident can be devastating. Medical bills can quickly pile up, with expenses from hospital stays, surgeries, and ongoing rehabilitation. On top of that, vehicle repairs and the costs of missing work due to injuries can add significant stress. The emotional toll, including anxiety, depression, and trauma from the crash, may require therapy or counseling, creating additional financial strain for victims and their families.
