Missouri car accidents put passengers at risk. Are you safe?
Every 13 seconds in America, someone sustains an injury in a car accident. That’s more than 2.3 million people injured in auto accidents every year, according to the latest government statistics from 2008.
In Missouri, injuries sustained in car accidents also remain a serious risk. In 2008, car accidents injured more than 31,000 people and killed 960 people in Missouri. Just recently, a two-car crash on Route 71 injured six people.
The drivers of both vehicles in the Route 71 crash reportedly sustained minor injuries in the car accident. Some seats are more dangerous than others in a vehicle, especially if you’re a passenger in a car. If you’re riding in the back seat, you’re much safer than the passenger riding in the front seat. But if you’re riding in the front passenger seat, the driver has a much better chance of surviving a car crash than you.
Car accidents cause a wide range of injuries. The most common injuries in car accidents are to people’s head, neck or back. And even though you might not feel injured immediately after an accident, serious injuries can develop days or even weeks later. That’s why it’s crucial you seek immediate medical attention after being involved in a car accident.
Knowing what to do after being injured in a car accident can be difficult. You feel terrible. You just want to rest. But there’s so much to do. You have to deal with insurance companies, doctors, maybe even the police. Questions often lead to more questions. Bills pile up. You feel completely overwhelmed.
