Man Injured in Missouri Auto Accident
A 60-year-old man was seriously injured in a Missouri auto accident after he rear-ended a truck that had stopped because of an accident on the Interstate 44 near Marshfield, Missouri. According to an ABC news report, the injured victim was taken to a local hospital with moderate injuries. No one else seemed to have been injured in this two-vehicle crash.
Rear-end car accidents, statistically, are the least fatal type of car accident. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), rear-end car accidents account for only six deaths per 1 million registered cars. However, these types of car accidents are far more common than others. About 2.5 million car accidents in the United States each year are rear-end collisions.
In most car accidents, it's very important to determine the cause and who was at fault. Who is at fault for a particular car accident can determine who may be held civilly liable or financially responsible for injuries and damages caused. Rear-end accidents can cause significant injuries including severe back and neck injuries which may require months of treatment and therapy. If your accident and injuries were the result of a negligent driver, you may be entitled to seek compensation to cover your medical costs, loss of earnings and other related damages.
