A serious automobile crash occurred on US Highway 60 in Missouri on Friday December 12th near Monett Missouri. Authorities report that Victor Byrd of Pierce City Missouri crossed the center line of traffic on Highway 60, crashing head-on into a 2003 Chevy with several occupants. The driver of the other car, 43 year-old Tamara Roux sustained serious personal injuries and was flown to St. John's Hospital in Springfield Missouri for emergency treatment. Her two children, 22 year-old Aimee Roux and 20 year-old Jeremy Roux also sustained personal injuries, but not as severe as their mother Tamara.

Crossing the center line of traffic is becoming a leading cause of personal injuries to motorists in the State of Missouri. Our personal injury lawyers have clients who are wheelchair bound due to this type of careless operation of a motor vehicle. In addition to negligence per se, drivers who cross the center line of traffic may also be qualified as acting grossly negligent, which increases our clients' right to recovery. We urge Missouri injury victims involved in automobile accidents to review Missouri's Statutory Rules of the Road, as laid out in Chapter 304 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.
So what else should you do when involved in a automobile accident in the State of Missouri? First and foremost, seek immediate medical attention even if you "don't feel that hurt." A common misconception in car accidents is that if it doesn't hurt, its not injured. That isn't entirely accurate. To the contrary, many injuries, primarily in the back and spine, won't manifest themselves for several hours or days. Therefore, it is always a good rule of thumb to seek medical care for diagnostic treatment immediately following a car accident. Then, contact St. Louis accident and injury attorney Stephen Schultz for a free consultation to discuss your claim. The expert personal injury lawyers at Schultz Legal Group won't let you be victimized twice.
