St. Louis Truck Accident Attorney

Injured in a Rear-End Crash in Missouri? 866.840.3636

When you have been rear-ended by a truck, you likely have suffered a serious injury.  A regular car or vehicle does not have the weight or construction of a truck, and is easily crushed or thrown through an intersection when involved in a rear-end collision. The fact of the matter is that most commercial trucks commonly “follow too close” behind passenger vehicles.  These trucks are notoriously hard to stop, and in combination with following too closely, a rear-end crash often results.  Many commercial trucking companies require their truck drivers to abide by a 3-5 second rule when following passenger vehicles.  Unfortunately, seldom do drivers actually observe and practice this directive.  Time is money in the commercial trucking industry and truck drivers who are compensated by the mile are usually in a hurry to get loads to a destination as quick as possible.  

If you or a loved one has been involved in a rear-end crash involving a commercial truck, it is crucial that you contact a St. Louis truck accident attorney to assist you with your claim for damages.  The injuries sustained in rear-end crashes can be very serious, in particular to the neck and spine.  In some cases, fatalities are the result as the car is pushed into oncoming traffic traveling in the opposite direction.  At the Schultz Legal Group, the attorneys are highly skilled personal injury lawyers with a full knowledge on handling insurance companies, claims for damages, and fighting for fair settlements in complex litigation.  Truck drivers that rear-end passenger vehicles may be found to be negligent per se for failing to observe Missouri's Rules of Road, which are found throughout Section 304 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.

Rear-end crashes can cause serious injuries when they occur.  Spine injuries, neck injuries, soft tissue injuries and other trauma are the painful reality of a truck crash.  However, some injuries in rear-end crashes may not be immediately apparent, especially neck and spine injuries.  It is crucial that you do not discuss your injuries with the insurance company adjuster for the trucking company without first consulting the Schultz Legal Group.  Anything that you tell the insurance company can later be used to diminish your claim, and a “friendly” insurance adjuster may end up being a real problem later.
