Four Injured, After Rollover Crash on Missouri Route E in Crawford County

CRASH INVESTIGATION

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), roughly 2.2 million people were injured in motor vehicle crashes nationwide in 2023.

NHTSA identifies speeding as the leading cause of traffic crashes, followed by driving under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication; failing to stay in the proper lane; failing to yield the right of way; and distracted driving.

“It is imperative to come to a determination of the exact cause of these types of accidents. An attorney has the resources to review applicable insurance coverage, hire expert witnesses, run background checks, and locate witnesses. We carefully guide the family of the victim through the process,” said Candice Bond, a managing partner with Bond Legal.

Bond noted that in cases such as this, it’s important for an independent investigation to be conducted as soon as possible in order to better preserve evidence.

“In addition to a police report, an attorney will carefully review what may have contributed to the crash,” added Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney and national analyst for Accident Injury News. “A lawyer has the resources to hire expert witnesses, conduct drivers’ background checks, locate witnesses to the crash, and review applicable insurance coverage. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help guide an injury victim through what can be a complicated process.”

PERSONAL INJURY CLAIM

Pending the outcome of the investigation, those injured in the crash may have grounds to pursue a personal injury claim. Stefano Formica, Of Counsel with Bond Legal, noted that the stress and worry that follow a serious injury can be overwhelming, affecting nearly every part of a victim’s life, including family, work, finances, and overall well-being.

“It is vital for victims to hire an attorney when filing a personal injury claim, which allows them to negotiate with an insurance company on behalf of a client,” Formica added.

“Insurance companies can be notoriously unconcerned with the mounting costs that an injured party may accrue. An attorney can help. We protect the victims of these tragedies daily, forcing the insurance companies to pay for their mistakes,” he added.
