Members of the Blair and Buckler families were seriously injured on October 20th when a 2006 Cadillac being driven by Forrest Riley smashed into the back of Jerry Blair's Chevrolet, causing it to cross the centerline and strike a Mercury occupied by four Bucklers.  Mary, Laura, William and Wendell Buckler all sustained serious injuries.  Wendell Buckler, the driver of the Mercury, was airlifted to University Hospital in Columbia for emergency care.  Jerry and Rachell Blair were injured but refused medical treatment.

It is unknown what caused Forrest Riley to violently crash into the back of Blair's vehicle, causing a head on collision.  Luckily all persons involved in this crash were wearing seat belts, otherwise the injuries could have been much worse.  All cars are known to have automobile insurance.  Which insurance companies will be liable for which injuries is yet to be determined.  Because this particular crash involved several serious injuries, it is always a possibility that there may not be adequate insurance coverage available to compensate the victims of this crash.

Missouri accident and injury lawyer Stephen Schultz encourages all Missouri motorists to carry the 'right' amount of liability, UNinsured (UM), UNDERinsured (UIM), and Medical Payments (MED PAY) coverages.  On countless occassions our attorneys witness situations where the injuries sustained in a car wreck are so severe that the insurance coverage of the guilty party just isn't enough to properly compensate.  In such a case, it is CRITICAL to have the proper coverages on your OWN policy of insurance. Call our office today for a free consultation to discuss your injury and whether your own coverage will be able to 'pick up the deficiency' in coverage.
