When you are involved in a motor vehicle accident where the other driver is negligent, you have the right to pursue financial compensation from that driver. What happens when, instead of stopping, the other vehicle takes off and leaves the scene of the accident? You become the victim of a hit-and-run driver.
Pursuing a personal injury claim? It can be beneficial to be familiar with the types of evidence that may be needed to help substantiate your claim. For starters, evidence can be broadly classified into two categories – physical (tangible evidence) and non-physical.
If you were injured in an accident at the hands of another, would you feel comfortable talking with a personal injury attorney? Many do not. Many misconceptions surround the field of personal injury law – enough to keep some people from pursuing and filing a claim.
Do you wonder if your injuries are serious enough to make a claim? Maybe you think others will perceive you as greedy. Or, maybe you think it will be too expensive just to sit down and talk.
Being involved in a car accident means a myriad of details to manage and evidence to gather. One document you need to obtain is the police accident report. Written by the investigating officer, this report contains the officer’s observations, notes, and sometimes opinions about fault. It can be an important document should you decide to pursue a personal injury claim.
When you have been seriously injured in a car or truck accident, slip and fall or another type of accident, questions abound: what if you are off work for an extended period of time? who pays the medical bills for your injuries? will you be disabled and able to return to work? Do you need to retain a personal injury lawyer and when should that take place?
The shortest answer to this last question is as soon as possible.
Falls happen for a variety of reasons in the workplace. Slippery work surfaces, unstable work platforms, unprotected holes, falls from ladders. In fact, falling from a ladder is one of the most common types of work accidents, especially in the construction industry (where falls happen to be a leading cause of death).
Construction sites are dangerous places. The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) even ranks the construction site as one of the most dangerous workspaces, as workers are at risk for injuries from defective equipment and human error.
Falls are the second leading cause of unintentional injury deaths worldwide, with around 8 million people visiting hospitals each year because of injuries caused by them. In 2023 alone, 47,026 people died from falls at home and in the workplace (Injury Facts®).
These accidents often lead to serious, life‑altering injuries such as traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, broken hips or pelvis, shoulder and neck injuries, and more.
Have you been the victim of a drunk driving accident? It seems logical that the one who should be compensating you for those skyrocketing medical bills lost wages and pain and suffering would be the inebriated driver.

Each year, thousands of miles of roadway fall into disrepair, leaving drivers to navigate hazards such as potholes, worn pavement, and damaged guardrails.
In Missouri, the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is responsible for planning, designing, constructing, and maintaining the state’s extensive highway system—more than 33,000 miles of roads and over 10,000 bridges and culverts. This includes routine inspections, repairs, winter treatment, and ensuring that road markings and safety features meet required standards.
