Our Stockton Missouri car accident lawyers are investigating an automobile crash which occurred Sunday evening in Cedar Coundy, Missouri.  17-year-old Destiny Miller was operating her vehicle eastbound on Missouri 32 when she lost control of her vehicle while going around a curve on the road.  Ms. Miller allegedly overcorrected her vehicle, causing it to cross over the roadway in to westbound traffic when she struck a vehicle being driven by 27-year-old Casey Jones.  Mr. Jones was carrying Angela Jones, 47, and Maggie Fischer, 12 - all of Stockton, Missouri.  All four persons involved in this crash were taken to nearby Bolivar, Missouri hospitals to be treated for their injuries. 

'Losing control' of your vehicle is unfortunately more common than one may assume.  In a situation such as what caused this crash, it is a person's involuntary reaction to jerk or pull their vehicle in the opposite direction from which it is going.  However, this action presents potential for more serious repercussion.  While traveling at a higher rate of speed, a sudden movement in the opposite direction for your vehicle will cause it to skid, swerve, or possibly flip - injuring you or others on the road.  If you are a victim of this situation, an experienced team of Missouri crash attorneys may be able to guide you in seeking a favorable outcome from the insurance company of the at-fault party. 

Drivers and passengers are equally entitled to compensation for injuries sustained in an auto accident.  Even when fault is clear to the responsible party, the insurance company of the at-fault individual will try its best to avoid paying out money to those injured individuals.  At this point, those injured often find themselves confused and fearful they are being taken advantage of, or will soon regret agreeing to an early settlement.  Contacting a Missouri car accident lawyer for a free consultation may give you assistance in becoming more knowledgeable in what to expect out of your claim.
