Taney County Missouri Car Accident Injures Pedestrian; Missouri Car Accident Personal Injury Lawyer Gives Advice on how to Reduce Risk of Further Personal Injury After Car Accident

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

Beverly McMasters, 52, of Marshfield, Missouri was involved in a minor Missouri car accident on December 3, 2007 on Highway 160 approximately half a mile west of Walnut Shade Road. After Ms. McMasters got out of her vehicle, Jack Ford of Springfield, Missouri stopped and sat inside his car patiently waiting for Ms. McMasters. All of a sudden, another car driven by Velma Barges hit Mr. Ford's vehicle, causing him to hit Ms. McMasters while she was outside her vehicle.

After being hit by the car, Ms. McMasters was transported to St. John's Hospital in Springfield, Missouri and was listed as having serious personal injuries.

If you are involved in a car accident in Missouri, the first thing you should do is get to a place of safety. Often, motorists find themselves stranded in the middle of the road or on the shoulder. Accident victims should always stand away from the roadway after a car wreck. As a lawyer, I often see people that suffer personal injury from being struck while in the roadway after a traffic accident. As always, think SAFETY, even after you are involved in a Missouri car accident and make sure you are not in danger's way. After the car accident, call a Missouri personal injury lawyer to discuss your legal rights.
