Two injured, one seriously, in Missouri wreck

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

Virginia Daughhetee, 60, was seriously injured in a Missouri car accident that occurred on I-55 in Pemiscot County near Portageville.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the accident began when a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer, driven by Brandi Taylor, 35, rear-ended Daughhetee's 2004 PT Cruiser while both vehicles were traveling southbound on the highway. The impact of the collision sent the PT Cruiser into the back of a tractor trailer and Taylor's vehicle ran off the right side of the roadway and overturned.

Daughhetee was airlifted to St. Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau for emergency treatment. Taylor was also injured and taken by ambulance to Pemiscot Memorial Hospital.

Typically, in car accident injury cases, the at-fault driver's liability insurance will cover the damages caused to the injury victim. Occasionally these cases can become complicated by insurance companies trying to limit the amount they pay out. To make sure your rights as an accident victim are protected, it is important to consult the legal advice of an experienced personal injury lawyer.
