Labor Day is just around the corner, and that means that school will be back in session in Missouri.  Back to school means more people on the road, resulting in increased traffic congestion and an increase in serious car accidents and bus accidents.  We all are spoiled in the summer when school buses, and young students are not racing to school in the morning and home in the afternoon.  When school starts up again in the fall, some of us get frustrated by increased commute times and congestion.  Our discontent is increased by the continued closure of Missouri highway 40 in St. Louis City.  Luckily highway 40 is scheduled to re-open in full capacity in December 2009.

Take the increase in traffic congestion into consideration and make an effort to leave a little earlier to head to the office.  Being rushed in the morning can result in careless driving and more "at-fault" accidents for you.  Aside from an insurance rate increase, serious personal injuries and/or death can quickly result from negligent driving habits.  Failing to observe the Missouri statutory Rules of the Road can result in being charged with a criminal offense and being held negligent per se in a civil court.

In the unfortunate event you are seriously injured in a Missouri car accident, motorcycle crash or tractor-trailer crash, contact St. Louis Injury Lawyer Stephen Schultz and get the experienced lawyers at Schultz Legal Group on your side.  Our injury lawyers will investigate the circumstances of the crash and represent you against the unfair insurance companies that do there best, from day one, to minimize your injury claim.  Don't be victimized twice.
