Head-on Mount Vernon Car Accident Sends Several to the Hospital

Crossing the center line of traffic causes head-on car accidents all over the state of the Missouri on a daily basis.  23 year-old Carl Casey did just that early Saturday evening when his Neon crossed the center line on Missouri 39 near Mount Vernon.  Jessica  Hazelwood and Evan Hazelwood were seriously injured in the Mount Vernon car accident, which resulted in dispatch of the Missouri State Highway Patrol.  The Hazelwood's were rushed to St. John's Hospital in Springfield Missouri, a level-1 trauma center known for its excellent triage center.  The BMW that the Hazelwood's were riding in at the time of the car accident was nearly unrecognizable following the impact. 

High speed head-on car accidents cause some of the most devastating injuries that Missouri hospitals treat on a regular basis.  From soft-tissue spine trauma to catastrophic injuries resulting in extensive future medical care, head-on impact collisions rarely spare motorists.  Drivers who cross the center line of traffic and cause head-on or broadside car accidents may be found negligent per se if a civil jury finds that the driver failed to obey the Missouri Rules of the Road.  Section 304 of the Missouri Revised Statutes requires every driver in Missouri to exercise care in the operation of a motor vehicle.  This includes remaining attentive and alert when behind the wheel.

If you have been injured in a Missouri car accident, you may have a car accident injury claim to present to the at-fault party's insurance carrier.  However, injury victims are not in a position to negotiate with an experienced insurance claims adjuster on their own.  Contact the Missouri car accident lawyers at Schultz Legal Group by calling (866) 840-3636 for an immediate case evaluation, email attorney Stephen Schultz directly.  The car accident injury attorneys at Schultz Legal Group represent injury victims throughout the entire state of Missouri and are skilled at obtaining fair compensation for all car accident claims, truck accident claims, and motorcycle accident claims.  Don't be victimized twice.
