46 year-old Purdy Missouri resident Terry Jackson was seriously injured yesterday while riding his Indian motorcycle on County Road 1090.  Authorities report that Richard Jagears pulled his 1991 Ford pickup truck directly into the path of Jackson, causing Jackson to be ejected from his motorcycle.  Jackson sustained serious personal injuries and was take to Cox Monett hospital by emergency ambulance.  The driver of the Ford pickup did not sustain personal injury and was able to drive his truck away from the scene of the crash.

Motorcycle crashes in Missouri are notoriously caused by passenger vehicles pulling out in front of a motorcyclist.  For whatever reason, passenger vehicles claim they "didn't see the motorcycle coming" and 'couldn't avoid the collision".  The truth of the matter is, motorists driving passenger vehicles have to abide by the Missouri statutory rules of the road.  Automobile operators must keep a 'careful lookout directly and laterally ahead of their vehicle." 

If you have been involved in motorcycle crash and sustained personal injuries, don't let the person who caused the collision walk away unaccountable.  The other driver may have been both negligent and negligent per se in causing or contributing to cause the collision.  Call St. Louis Motorcycle Injury Attorney Stephen Schultz to discuss the facts of your injury claim.  The Missouri injury attorneys at Schultz Legal Group may also evaluate your claim by completing our short online case evaluation form.
