Missouri Crash Seriously Injures Gallatin Woman

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

Brandi Eaton, 27, was seriously injured Monday morning when her car was struck by a pickup truck on Missouri 13 south of Bethany, Missouri.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the driver of the pickup, Mark Redd, 19, failed to stop at a stop sign and hit Eaton?s vehicle on the driver?s side. Eaton was thrown from her car as it spun out of control.

Eaton was taken first to Harrison County Community Hospital and later flown to North Kansas City Hospital. Redd refused treatment for minor injuries.

Redd was issued a summons for failure to stop at a stop sign.

More investigation is needed, but with the initial information Eaton may be able to collect damages in this case. Whenever someone is injured by another driver's negligence, the liability insurance of the party at fault is required to pay any expenses that arise from the crash including medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any disability costs.

Any driver that is injured in a Missouri car wreck should immediately contact a personal injury attorney.
