As details continue to unfold in the fatal St. Francois County semi-truck crash the Bonne Terre Missouri wrongful death lawyers at Schultz & Myers discuss how this crash confirms an ongoing problem with rogue trucking companies.  Our Missouri wrongful death lawyers have filed wrongful death lawsuits in more semi-truck accidents that we would care to admit.  The reason?  Because as of today, Missouri continues to have an unreasonable share of fatal tractor-trailer accidents.  In, fact, our lawyers recently discussed the research findings that 20% of truck drivers motoring through Missouri are not compliant with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.  In fact, Missouri state law has adopted almost all of these Federal Safety Regulations, including Part 391 of Title 49 of the US Code of Regulations.

Part 391 of the Federal Safety Regulations addresses truck driver qualifications. An experienced Missouri truck accident lawyer knows how important it is to seek a truck driver qualification file immediately following and serious or fatal semi-truck crash.  We find that many times the more serious tractor-trailer accidents in Missouri occur because the truck driver was not properly qualified to operate the 18-wheeler.  If the driver qualification file is not preserved by a lawyer immediately following a fatal truck accident, unfortunately, the file may end up being altered in a way that is self-serving to the trucking company.  You see, the companies that insured commercial motor carriers know that a deadly truck accident like the Bonne Terre fatal truck crash presents serious financial exposure for the insurance company, especially if a St. Francois County wrongful death lawyer gets involved in the case from the start.

As our Missouri wrongful death lawyers continue to investigate this semi-truck crash, we have uncovered several things:

• The snow and inclement weather conditions probably had no part in causing this crash
• The truck driver, Robert Carmona, was operating the truck on a revoked license
• That Robert Carmona was driving for a New York-based trucking company
• That the grade of US Highway 67 near Bonne Terre was relatively flat and that visibility was good
• That the truck driver was not paying attention (usually caused by use of a cellphone or truck driver fatigue)
• That the 1996 Crown Vic was pushed over 200 feet by the truck before it came to rest
• That the Missouri Highway Patrol will open an accident reconstruction on this fatal crash
• That the ECM of the tractor-trailer was not destroyed in the crash

Our Missouri truck accident injury lawyers will continue to keep the public posted as we investigate this fatal accident that prematurely claimed 3 lives.  After all, someone needs to bring this ongoing problem to the public's attention.  Reckless truck drivers endanger everyone on the road, including themselves.  Unfortunately, 3 people lost their lives in this crash and the residents of Bonne Terre will mourn this loss for some time.

Our Bonne Terre St. Francois County Missouri wrongful death lawyers are available toll-free at (866) 840-3636.  Lets do our best to uncover the facts of this case and hopefully other trucking companies will take heed that Missouri residents are not going to stand for rogue trucking companies and the reckless truck drivers that needlessly endanger everyone.

As our Missouri truck accident injury lawyers continue to investigate this fatal semi-truck crash in St. Francois County, we will report breaking news as it becomes available.  37-year old Robert Carmona of New York, NY, has been charged with 3 counts of involuntary manslaughter following his part in causing this fatal truck accident on Highway 67 at 1:30pm Thursday afternoon.  Mr. Carmona was driving the red tractor-trailer on a revoked license and will not only be facing criminal charges, but a likely 3-count civil wrongful death lawsuit for the deaths of Rachel Sharp, Aaron Weber, and Frank Weber, all residents of Bonne Terre Missouri.

When Carmona crashed into the back of the 1996 Crown Vicotoria, it was pushed more than 200 feet down Highway 67 before coming to a rest.  Our independent fatal truck accident reconstruction should provide evidence as to why Carmona did not stop or even brake before slamming into the back of the Crown Victoria.  However, driving on a revoked license gives us some idea of what type of driver this man was.  More importantly, why did the New York-based trucking company that he worked for allow him to haul freight without a valid CDL (commercial drivers license).  Not only is this a violation of Missouri state law, but it is also a clear violation of Part 391 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.  When the New York trucking company was contacted, it did not comment on the fatal accident.

When are rogue trucking companies going to learn that they cannot put unqualified truck drivers behind the wheel of a 60,000+ pound tractor-trailer?  How many serious injury and death lawsuits do our lawyers have to file before the insurance companies stop issuing polices of liability insurance coverage to reckless commercial motor carriers?  Until they do, our Missouri semi-truck accident lawyers will continue to aggressively pursue these reckless truck drivers and trucking companies in Missouri state court and Missouri federal courts.  We will continue to represent serious injury victims and file Missouri wrongful death lawsuits on behalf of the surviving family members of fatal truck accidents.

Something has to change.  Whether it be at the state level or federal level, oversight and regulation of trucking companies appears to be ineffective, especially at proactively protecting other motorists from an unqualified truck driver.  If you feel you have been victimized by a reckless truck driver, call our Missouri truck accident injury lawyers immediately at 1-866-840-3636, or locally at 314-448-0934.  We will not rest until trucking companies learn their lesson.  And the only way to teach them is to file enough civil lawsuits to persuade insurance companies to make certain that they trucking companies that they insure are fully compliant with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, especially Part 391 for driver qualification.  As Missouri wrongful death lawyers, this is our pledge to protect the public.

Unanswered questions remain after 6 year-old Hunter Pitt was killed as he exited a school bus in front of his house around 4:00pm this afternoon.  Pitt was exiting the bus and walking around the front of the 2006 Freightliner when it rolled over the young boy.  Pitt was pronounced dead at the scene.  77 year-old Willie Loenberger was driving the bus and it remains unclear how or why Loenberger allowed the bus to move before Pitt was clear of the "zone of danger" typically referred to as the front of a school bus. 

An accident reconstruction team will be used to investigate the Callaway County fatal bus accident that claimed the life of this innocent victim.  Accident reconstructions are complex investigations that involve statistical data and applied physics.  Depending on testimony from eye witnesses, most of the findings contained in a fatal crash investigation report will be based upon scientific data.  This includes information from the black box of the school bus, the electronic control module (ECM). 

The Callaway County Bus Accident Lawyers at Schultz & Myers conduct independent accident reconstruction in all personal injury cases involving a commercial motor vehicle, which includes school buses.  Conducting a thorough independent reconstruction is critical in ascertaining what contributing factors could have caused an accident.  Our law firm retains engineers, certified accident reconstruction experts, safety experts, and other specialists to aid in a reconstruction.  Filing protective orders with the local Circuit Court is critical in aiding to preserve evidence that will be relevant to a reconstruction investigation down the line.

Another useful tool in assisting the jury in understanding what happened in a school bus accident is to use reconstruction animation.  Animation reconstruction videos require enough factual data to provide a fair and accurate depiction of what actually happened in the accident.  If the animation video is not based on enough tangible evidence, it will be stricken and not able to be used as evidence in a personal injury claim against the negligent driver.  Our Callaway County wrongful death lawyers find animation to be particular effective in providing a visual understanding of what caused an accident and who was to blame.

Our Missouri personal injury lawyers are standing by to answer your questions.  Call our toll-free hotline (866) 840-3636 to speak with an attorney immediately.  An aggressive and experienced Missouri lawyer may be exactly what is needed to seek justice in a case, especially when the complexities of a commercial motor vehicle are involved.  Without representation, evidence can be lost, altered, or destroyed.  

A fatal semi-truck crash near Bonne Terre Missouri was reported at around 2:00pm this afternoon.  Authorities report that a tractor-trailer rear-ended a passenger car on U.S. Highway 67.  The semi-truck hit the smaller vehicle with such force that it was pushed down the highway before coming to a rest.  The driver and two passengers in the car were killed, and their names are yet to be released as accident reconstruction teams with the Missouri State Highway Patrol conduct an investigation. 

Our Missouri truck accident injury lawyers do not believe that snow was to blame for the rear-end collision.  Yes, it had snowed through the night and accumulations ranged from 6 inches to a foot.  However, our survey of the scene indicates that U.S. Highway 67 was plowed and clear.  Visibility was good on this stretch of highway 67 at the accident scene, which is roughly 3 miles north of Bonne Terre. 

Fatal tractor-trailer crashes have plagued this area of Southeastern Missouri over the past year.  When our lawyers investigate accidents such as these, one of the first steps is to obtain a protective order from the Circuit Court and obtain the tractor-trailer's ECM (Electronic Control Module).  This is the 'black box' of the tractor-trailer and is critical in obtaining data that will piece together the events that took place just prior to impact.  Obtaining a drug screening on the truck driver is also important, and is required by the FMCSA after any fatal truck accident.

It is tragic that these three innocent motorists lost their lives.  Something has to be done about careless truck drivers and the rogue trucking companies that employ them.  If we do not do something about it soon, more people will be needlessly injured and/or killed.  If you have any information from this fatal truck crash, contact the Southeast Missouri truck accident lawyers at Schultz & Myers by calling toll-free (866) 840-3636.  Our lawyers aggressively pursue negligent trucking companies for the incomprehensible losses they cause on our Missouri highways.  You may also email founding partner Stephen Schultz for a confidential inquiry if necessary.

The settlement value of a semi-truck accident claim varies on hundreds of factors.  Everything from court venue to the judge randomly selected to preside over your case.  The factors that affect the potential outcome of a tractor-trailer accident compensation claim are not well understood by each lawyer in town.  Some attorneys have little experience being in the heat of a heavily-contested commercial motor vehicle accident case.  Even lawyers who profess to be "injury attorneys" may not have a thorough appreciation for the complexities of these types of cases.  Memberships in commercial truck litigation organizations does offer some help in educating lawyers on developments in the federal and state laws that apply to truck accident cases.  However, this is not enough.

A common question that callers ask when contacting our St. Louis personal injury lawyers is: what do you charge for handling an injury claim?  The answer is nothing, unless our lawyers win your case.  This is a relief for most injury victims.  After all, most accidents cause financial stress on an unimaginable level.  The last thing that anyone in this position needs is a lawyer that charges a large up-front attorney retainer.  The attorneys fees that Schultz & Myers charges are contingency on the outcome of each case.  Therefore, our lawyers and clients share a common interest of reaching a successful outcome in each case.

There are many ways to contact an accident injury lawyer for advice on presenting an injury claim.  Some people use the internet.  The internet is a good resource for researching personal injury lawyers.  For example, using a search engine like Google or Yahoo and plugging in search terms such as "St. Louis car accident lawyer" will provide results that are a good starting point for choosing the best lawyer for your case.  It is wise to never choose an accident injury lawyer based upon how flashy a website is.  In fact, the Missouri ethical rules have made it a point to require lawyers to tell potential clients that decisions for legal representation should not be based solely upon advertisements. 

Choosing a lawyer based upon a referral from a friend or family member can also offer choices.  CAUTION:  Do not think that a lawyer referred by someone else is the right lawyer to handle a serious injury claim.  Traffic lawyers do not make good injury lawyers, and vice versa.  Would you seek a foot doctor if you had migraine headaches? No.  The same holds true with lawyers.  Yes, all lawyers have a general understanding of civil personal injury litigation.  The lawyers at Schultz & Myers would conceivably be able to assist a client with a Will, however, we would never do as good as a job as a lawyer who only does Wills.  Accident injury claims for compensation involve complex civil state statutory laws and civil court procedures.  Never take your serious injury case to a law firm that dabbles in all areas of law.  Chances are high that you will not receive all forms of compensation that you deserve.  

When choosing a personal injury lawyer, also bear in mind that going with the biggest law firm in town does not necessarily mean you are getting the best legal representation available.  It is important for all injury victims to get one-on-one personal service from a lawyer, especially in situations like these where the client is under a high degree of emotional and physical stress.  When selecting your lawyer, make sure that he or she plans on staying in touch with you personally on a weekly or bi-weekly basis.

Do your homework before retaining any lawyer.  Personal injury claims require handling by an accident lawyer who has both experience and an aggressive strategy.  Without this, your claim can be drawn out for months or years while the lawyer does his best to feel his way through the complexities of these case types. 

Asbestos mesothelioma claims are typically filed in waves of litigation.  The earliest forms of asbestos mesothelioma claims for compensation were filed in the 1960's by workers that had acute contact with asbestos.  Exposure to even a single fiber of asbestos can result in mesothelioma or asbestosis of the lungs.  Many of the claims that our Missouri mesothelioma lawyers are filing now involve 'take home' cases. 

A 'take-home' mesothelioma claim arises out of the following factual scenario:  A parent has acute exposure to asbestos at work or in a public building and returns home that evening.  The parent has asbestos fibers on his/her clothing and then is approached by a child in the house.  The child comes into contact with the asbestos fibers on the parent's clothes.  The mesothelioma latency period ensues for 10-40 years.  Now the child, who is now an adult, suddenly experiences symptoms of mesothelioma, including shortness of breath, chest pains, wheezing, and hard coughing.  The doctor first diagnoses it as a common cold, or even bronchitis.  However, the symptoms remain constant, and finally the doctor requests a chest x-ray and CT scan.  The results of the imaging show tumors.  A diagnosis is made of mesothelioma.  A lung function test is completed and the prognosis is progressive. 

Asbestos mesothelioma claims are extremely sad.  They typically involve a victim who is now faced with a grim prognosis.  It is critical to contact am experienced mesothelioma lawyer immediately following diagnosis so that the statute of limitations does not ruin the case.  You will require an aggressive personal injury lawyer who understands how to handle mesothelioma injury claims.  Identifying and locating the correct defendants in a mesothelioma lawsuit is critical in obtaining a settlement or verdict that is fair.

Mesothelioma claims can be very complex, especially in the investigative stages.  The forms of compensation must be properly identified and explained by experts, such life-care planners, economists, and industry experts.  Make sure your Missouri mesothelioma lawyer understands how to maximize financial compensation in your asbestos claim.  After all, you only get on shot at a mesothelioma settlement.  

Missouri dog bite claims are on the rise.  Statistically, the United States sees the majority of its dog bite injury claims take place in the Midwest.  Missouri is one of the leading states in the union as far as reported dog attacks that end up in injury claims for compensation.  What do you need to know about a Missouri dog bite claim?  Investigation of a dog bite claim is something that should be handled by a personal injury lawyer.  Dog bite cases are easily lost without the proper investigative materials, which include:  witness statements, animal control history reports, photographs of the subject dog and location where the dog should have been secured, quarantine reports, statements from police, etc.  Witness statements should be recorded in accordance with the laws that private investigators are required to follow in Missouri.

Gathering evidence in a dog bite claim is just the beginning.  Application of Missouri dog bite laws to the facts of YOUR case is the next step.  This is a two part process.  The first part is determining liability against the owner of the dog that caused the injury.   The date of the dog bite is of critical importance in determining liability.  If the dog bite occurred before August 29, 2009, the case is much more difficult to prove because of the old Missouri law that applied to dog owners.  As of August 29, 2009, Missouri adopted a strict liability approach to dog bites and liability of the owners when these dogs caused injury to persons or property. 

The second step is proving your injuries, otherwise known as "damages."  Proving damages requires affidavits from medical providers, along with medical records and itemized billing, and an accounting of any other special damages that flowed as a result of the dog bite.  Since many dog attack claims for compensation contain a component of emotional damages, it becomes tricky when claiming emotional distress, especially if there is no psychologist or other expert that has been retained to discuss these damages.  A St. Louis dog bite lawyer can be skilled at proving emotional damages in a dog bite injury case.

Contact a St. Louis personal injury lawyer to discuss your dog bite claim, and what you need to know to win your case.  These claims can involve topics of compensation that are hard to prove and will often times be minimized by the insurance claims adjuster who is working on the case.  An aggressive dog bite injury lawyer may be just what you need to win your case and obtain the maximum compensation permitted under Missouri law. 

Have you ever wondered who the right personal injury attorney would be to handle your car accident, slip & fall, or other St. Louis personal injury claim?  The answer may be as simple as understanding the differences between an aggressive personal injury lawyer and a passive injury lawyer.  Aggressive does not equate to being mean, obtuse, or argumentative.  An aggressive personal injury attorney is simply one that understands the nuances of injury laws and is aggressive when it comes to seeking applicable insurance coverage to cover an accident.  An aggressive personal injury lawyer is also known for ultimately seeking, and obtaining, justice against the negligent or recklesss party that caused the injury in the first place.  After all, shouldn't we all be held accountable to those people that we injure?

Discovering and decoding what insurance coverage will actually apply to an injury claim is a bigger deal that most people understand.  Liability coverage, medical payments coverage, decreased value, uninsured, underinsured, no-fault, etc, are examples of just some of the insurance coverages that may apply to a particular set of facts.  Then of course there is subrogation, an area of Missouri law that is not very well understood by most St. Louis personal injury attorneys.  The debate over insurance coverage can lead to the Court of Appeals and eventually the Missouri Supreme Court.  There is often a lot of money at stake in personal injury claims when it comes to insurance coverage disputes.  This brings in the big insurance defense firms in St. Louis.

What every personal injury victim needs to know is that there is help out there.  An aggressive personal injury attorney can offer you peace of mind after an accident.  That peace of mind is knowing that your claim is being prosecuted in a means that will reap a successful outcome.  It also means that your lawyer will be seeking compensation from all insurance coverages available or applicable to this "loss."

So in the unfortunate event that you are injured, do not despair.  There is help out there.  Call a personal injury attorney at Schultz & Myers and discuss your claim for compensation with an experienced injury lawyer.  Lawyers can be reached 24 hours a day by calling (314) 448-0934 or toll-free at (866) 840-3636.  And please, drive safe, and remember to put down that cellphone when behind the wheel.

About 4.5 million dog bite incidents are reported each year in the United States.  Dog bite claims are most common in the midwest, and in Missouri, personal injury claims that result from dog attacks are on the rise.  Hospital visits resulting from dog bite claims have doubled in Missouri in the past 15 years.  So who is to blame for the increase in dog attacks and dog bites claims.  The finger can be pointed at dogs, but also at their owners.  Serious dog bites most commonly occur with younger children.  According to Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital in St. Louis, the reason is that children are more likely to bend down and get in a dogs face, which can potentially spook it into an aggressive reaction.

Children can sustain significant bouts of emotional distress and fear following any dog attack.  This fear can transform from a fear of dogs to a generalized fear and anxiety of being unsafe.  It is important to talk openly with your child following any dog bite claim, get the situation out and in discussion.  Further care from a child psychologist may also offer assistance in coping with the mental anguish and fear associated with post traumatic stress syndrome from a dog bite. 

A St. Louis dog bite lawyer can discuss the current dog bite laws associated with civil personal injury claims for compensation following any dog attack.  Most notably, the laws in Missouri changed dramatically in August, 2009, with the implementation of Missouri Revised Statute 273.036.  This law essentially makes Missouri a strict liability state with respect to dog bite injury claims.  The statute says that:

         "The owner or possessor of any dog that bites, without provocation, any person while such person is on public property, or lawfully on private property, including the property   of the owner or possessor of the dog, is strictly liable for damages suffered by persons bitten, regardless of the former viciousness of the dog or the owner's or possessor's knowledge of such viciousness."

The St. Louis personal injury lawyers at Schultz & Myers aggressively pursue the owners and harborers of dogs that attack and cause significant injury to innocent persons.  Our lawyers are available to answer the questions of anyone with a dog bite injury claim in Missouri or Illinois by calling (314) 448-0934 or (866) 840-3636.
 

Can I file a personal injury claim without a lawyer?  This is a question that our St. Louis personal injury attorneys are asked on a fairly regular basis.  The answer depends on how you define "claim."  Persons injured in accidents certainly can file a claim with an insurance company.  There is no legal necessity to retain a lawyer in order to file a claim with the insurance company that insured the responsible or "negligent" party.  All it really takes to get a claim started is a phone call to the insurance claims department.  However, the east party of the claim pretty much ends at the moment a claims adjuster is assigned to the injury claim and starts initiating contact with the injury victim who is seeking compensation.  It is undisputed that insurance claims adjusters are highly trained negotiators who are promised incentives to minimize compensation that they pay out on claims. 

You cannot file a personal injury "case" in court without the assistance of a lawyer, unless you wish to educate yourself in a crash course on Missouri evidence and Missouri civil procedures rules that are used in all courts in Missouri.  A 'pro se' plaintiff can represent him/herself without a lawyer, however, our St. Louis accident injury lawyers never advise self-representation unless it is in a small claims court dispute.  Accident injury claims are serious cases that require the expertise of an experienced injury lawyer who knows his way around St. Louis civil courts.

Most accident claims for compensation in Missouri carry a five year statute of limitations.  There are exceptions to this general rule though!!!!  As a rule of thumb, always contact a St. Louis injury lawyer when you are injured in accident, even if it is just to seek advice on the applicable statute of limitations and pointers on how to deal with the insurance claims adjuster that will soon be a bug in your ear.

Filing a personal injury claim without a lawyer can be tricky.  Our St. Louis law firm has found that many clients who tried to first handle their own injury claim with the insurance company do more harm than good.  Recorded statements to medical record release authorizations to complicated settlement Release agreements, it can be very complex and chances are high that the common accident injury victim does not have the knowledge base to understand all the forms of compensation that are available to an accident victim.

If you have been injured in an accident, contact the lawyers at Schultz & Myers for a free consultation and case evaluation from an experienced attorney.  Lawyers on staff are waiting to answer your important questions and can be reached day or night at (314) 448-0934, or toll-free at (866) 840-3636.  Don't be victimized twice.
