Missouri Personal Injury Lawyer: Car Hits Motorcycle, Serious Injury Reported

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

Our Missouri personal injury lawyer blog routinely reports on statewide car, truck and motorcycle accidents in an effort to bring awareness to how accidents happen and the factors that contribute in causing them. In addition, our Missouri lawyers provide commentary from a legal perspective in an effort to help people become aware of the legal issues involved in these types of cases. Knowledge is power. All too often good people are taken advantage of by large insurance companies. Hopefully by reading our posts, you have learned something about Missouri car accident law, what claims can be made and the underlying insurance issues.

With these principals in mind, we now report a new incident involving a motorcycle and a car. On March 20, 2008, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reported a very serious accident occurred between a vehicle and a motorcycle in Green County, Missouri.

William Schroeder, 77 of Springfield, Missouri was driving a 2000 Honda Accord when he crossed the centerline and struck a 2008 Harley Davidson Motorcycle driven by Michael Davis, 40 of Springfield, Missouri. Mr. Davis was taken to Cox South Hospital in Springfield, Missouri where he was treated for serious injuries. Schroeder was reported to have no injuries.

At this time, it is unknown what caused Mr. Schroeder to cross the centerline. When these details are released, we will update this blog.

In this case, we are unable to determine what insurance coverage either party had. For more information regarding liability, under-insured motorist and uninsured motorist insurance coverage, please visit our St. Louis law firm web site for more information.
