Our Missouri car accident lawyers have become aware of a crash by the Missouri State Highway Patrol and the Johnson County Sheriff's Department of a collision that occurred Monday afternoon on MO Highway 13 in Johnson County.  17-year-old Jackson Hill of Lee's Summit, Missouri was northbound on 2-lane Highway 13 when he began to pass a vehicle in front of him being driven by Angela Hardy of Warrensburg.  Hill failed to pass safely and struck the left rear of Hardy's vehicle.  Hill was subsequently trapped in the southbound lane of the highway, directly in the  path of southbound driver John Gallagher and his passenger Tammy Mahan.  Hill then struck Gallagher's vehicle head on and was ejected on impact.  Passenger Tammy Mahan (from Bridgeport, Ohio) was also injured as a result of the crash.  At-fault driver Jackson Hill was rushed by helicopter to a Kansas City hospital to be treated for serious injuries.  Passenger Tammy Mahan was taken by ambulance to the nearest local hospital for her injuries.  Angela Hardy and John Gallagher are not known to be injured. Charges against Hill are currently pending for his negligent driving actions.

Car accidents involving several vehicles and injuries to more than one person can become complex, especially when seeking compensation from multiple insurance carriers.  Insurance that covers the drivers, passengers, and vehicles themselves can become at issue as to who pays "first" and to what "policy limit."  For the lay person, this can become a never ending battle of insurance coverage, with the insurance companies winning most of the time.  Make sure to consult with a lawyer, even if if it merely to discuss what types of coverages apply to your specific Missouri car accident claim.
