Car Accidents in Missouri
In Missouri, more than 65,000 people are injured in auto accidents each year. When trucks are involved in these accidents, the likelihood of victims experiencing severe physical and emotional injuries significantly increases due to the size and weight of commercial vehicles. The physical and emotional pain resulting from such accidents can be overwhelming, often leading to long-lasting effects that require extensive time and financial resources to manage.
The aftermath of these accidents can be devastating; medical expenses can skyrocket due to hospital stays, surgeries, and ongoing rehabilitation. Vehicle repairs can add another layer of stress, as can the costs associated with lost wages if you are unable to work during recovery. Other related costs, such as therapy for emotional trauma or counseling for anxiety and depression, can quickly accumulate, placing a heavy burden on victims and their families, both financially and emotionally.
