The weather in Missouri is turning for the worse, and injury claims in the state are on the rise and ice accumulates in parking lots and on our roads.  Icey roads result in serious St. Louis automobile accidents and other incidents that cause serious injuries.  Even if bad weather is contributing cause to a crash, motorists still have the ultimate responsibility to keep their cars under control.  Make sure to check your tire tread and braking system before the weather gets even worse, and more and more ice covers our roads.

Slip and fall claims in parking lots are also going to be filed in our state civil courts, as persons walking from their cars to a business or office are going to injury themselves on the black ice.  Business owners have a duty in Missouri to keep their premises safe for employees and customers alike.  This includes putting down salt and plowing snow and ice at the first signs of accumulation.  If they don't, and someone gets injured on the ice, a St. Louis accident lawyer can step in and file a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of the client.

If you are injured in the snow and ice, make sure to seek immediate medical attention.  Ligaments, tendons, and discs can be torqued and strained in a way that results in serious injury, even if the injury is not immediately visible to the naked eye.  Soft tissue injuries can cause a lifetime of pain and suffering, debilitation, and early onset arthritis.

Call a St. Louis personal injury lawyer if you need advice on your case.  The call to (314) 448-0934 is always free and you will actually speak to an attorney, not a staff member.
