Motor Vehicle and Pedestrian Injuries

If you are seriously injured in a motor vehicle accident or by a motor vehicle as a pedestrian, you have a claim unless the accident was entirely your fault. Fault is a determination of a jury and an experienced attorney can make an informed assessment of fault based upon the law and the facts.

Even if the “at fault party” does not have insurance you still have a claim against your insurance carrier under a coverage called uninsured motorist coverage. Every liability policy issued in the State of Missouri must have a minimum of $25,000.00 of uninsured motorist coverage. If you are a passenger in a vehicle and both vehicles involved in the collision do not have insurance, your uninsured motorist coverage for your vehicle or the vehicle of a family member with whom you reside should provide this coverage. Sometimes these coverage's can be stacked and a legal opinion may be necessary to determine the amount of coverage available to you.
