Wednesday afternoon, a Springfield man died in a motorcycle accident. He was riding north on Missouri Rte. 97 near Scotts City when a careless attempt to turn ended his life. The motorcyclist, aged 39, was in the passing lane overtaking two vehicles when one of the drivers in the right lane tried to turn left. The careless driver had obviously failed to check his blind spot, and the motorcycle collided with the broad side of a pickup truck as it turned into the lane. The motorcyclist was pronounced dead at the scene by Missouri Highway Patrol.

Not surprisingly, a motorcycle accident will usually cause much more serious injuries than an auto accident. Almost a third of all motorcycle accident victims who survive the initial crash have injuries that affect their mobility in the long term. Spinal injuries and broken bones are very common after a motorcycle accident. Such injuries can be life-changing. The worst news of all? Unfortunately, about 11 people die every day because of the injuries caused by a motorcycle accident.

According to MedicineNet.com, every year 1.3 million people are injured in the United States because of mistakes with their medications.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) monitors all medication error reports in order to develop ways to keep consumers safer. One FDA study found that about 41 percent of fatal medication errors are related to taking the wrong does of medicine or using the wrong way to administer the medicine. About half of fatal medication errors occurred in people over 60 years of age. This could be because older people frequently take several prescription medications at once.

There are some steps you can take to help prevent medication errors. When you receive a prescription from a doctor, confirm with the doctor the name of the drug, what it’s for, and the correct dosage. Ask if there are any special instructions associated with that particular medication. Be sure that your doctor knows the names of all drugs (both prescription and over the counter) and vitamins you are taking, in order to prevent an adverse interaction among the drugs.

When you fill the prescription, confirm the name of the drug you are picking up and the correct dosage. Don’t be hesitant to ask the pharmacist if there is anything you don’t understand or if the drugs or directions appear different than you expected.

If you have been injured as a result of negligent medical care, including medication errors caused by either a doctor’s or a pharmacist’s errors, contact the Missouri personal injury attorneys at Page Law, LLC. We will provide you with a free consultation to review your case and see if you have a cause of action. Call us today at 314-322-8515 to learn more.

Two motorcyclists were injured last week on Missouri’s roads, according to NeoshoDailyNews.com.

In one of the Missouri motorcycle accidents, one of the motorcyclists didn’t properly negotiate a curve, causing him to lose control and overturn. Fortunately, he was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. The other motorcyclist crashed while attempting to pass another vehicle. While trying to pass, he left the road and hit a ditch. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital, and suffered moderate injuries.

Ironically, these accidents happened at a time when Missouri’s motorcycle helmet law is under attack. A new law is set for debate that would allow any motorcyclists over the age of 21 to not wear a helmet. Proponents of the law claim that helmets aren’t safe. They say that helmets affect the way motorcyclists hear and see. In addition, they claim that helmets can cause riders to pass out from heat exhaustion. They argue that training programs that teach specific techniques, such as defensive riding, are better at preventing motorcycle injuries or deaths than mandatory helmet laws. Supporters of the law argue that without helmets, riders are less safe, and medical costs are increased.

Helmets save lives and help prevent motorcyclists from suffering serious injuries or injuries that could lead to death. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), motorcycle fatalities fell 16 percent in 2009, from an all-time high in 2008 of 5,312. The Missouri Department of Transportation reports that motorcycle fatalities decreased 21 percent in the same time period.

There’s no question that accidents can be much more serious for motorcyclists than those in passenger vehicles. If you have been involved in a motorcycle accident in Missouri that was caused by another driver’s negligence, contact the St. Louis motorcycle crash lawyers at Page Law, LLC today at 314-322-8515.

Last night, a St. Louis woman went to the hospital after a shocking bus attack. It was a gruesome scene on board a Metro Bus in north St. Louis. A verbal argument led to a brutal attack. A middle-aged male passenger boarded and almost immediately began to argue with a woman on the bus. When the argument became heated, another male passenger stepped in. The first man swung a padlock on a heavy chain at the man, missed, and struck the woman on the head. She received emergency treatment for her injuries.

Usually, establishments cannot be held accountable for the actions carried out by third parties on their property. However, if that establishment continually fails to provide adequate safety and security for its patrons, it should be held liable for the injuries resulting from its negligence.

All Metro Busses and Metro Link trains have posted signs prohibiting concealed weapons. Weapons of any kind are not allowed on the St. Louis public transportation system. Why, then, was this man allowed to board the bus with an ordinary object made famous by the Hell’s Angels for its use as a weapon?

Patrons do and should have a reasonable expectation of safety on Metro trains and busses. Why, then, was the assailant allowed to stay aboard the bus when he began to verbally attack the woman?

Sadly, this is not the first St. Louis has heard of violence on the Metro system. In summer of 2008, several family groups and individuals were attacked and beaten by overwhelming groups of teenagers. These attacks happened on or near Metro Link platforms, and put more than one victim in the hospital.

If you or someone you know has been injured or attacked because of a property owner’s inattention to reasonable safety measures, contact Page Law today. The experienced personal injuries attorneys at Page Law can help you determine if you have a claim against the property owner.

When most people think of being injured from dog bites, they consider the actual injury to the body. However, any time a human is bitten by an animal, there’s also a chance that the rabies virus could infect them. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), every 10 minutes someone dies from rabies.

Rabies is a virus that is found in the saliva of animals and can kill both humans and animals. Most people who get rabies contract it because they were bitten by an animal with the virus. It’s important to recognize the symptoms of rabies, especially since when they appear, most people die within a few days of being infected.

Some early symptoms of rabies include fever, headache and weakness, which unfortunately can easily be confused with many other less dangerous illnesses. As the virus progresses, symptoms can include trouble sleeping, anxiety, confusion, hallucinations, agitation, drooling, difficulty swallowing, and a tingling at the site of the dog bite injury.

In order to avoid rabies, you need to avoid animals that carry the virus. Any animal that is acting sick, has problems swallowing, is drooling, bites at everything, or has trouble moving may be infected with the virus. Most of the time, rabies is found in wild animals, but domesticated animals can be infected with the virus as well. If you are bitten by a dog and you suspect the animal is infected with the rabies virus, seek help immediately. Wash the wound with soap and water, and then see a doctor.

If you have been bitten by a dog in Missouri, and have suffered serious injuries or were infected with rabies, you may be able to recover compensation from the dog’s owner. Contact the St. Louis dog bite attorneys at Page Law, LLC today at 314-322-8515 to learn more.

Freezing rain was to blame for the terrible crash on I-64 early this morning. Temperatures hovering around freezing and unexpected precipitation created ideal conditions for the formation of black ice. On Highway 64 this morning between the Vandeventer and Kingshighway exits, the section of road is both raised and sloping. Because it is raised, the ground was colder and more ice was able to form quickly. The slope of the road facilitated car after car to sliding on the ice to collide with the others. More than two dozen vehicles lost control on the ice and crashed into each other, packing tight into a tumble of crushed metal, shattered glass, and terrified people.

The task of rescuing the victims trapped inside the cars was formidable. Not only were so many injured, but extracting them from the wreck was very difficult and time-intensive. There were so many cars packed so tightly together that rescue workers were forced to walk over the mass of cars to triage and locate the injured. Over twenty people, once released, received emergency treatment for their injuries.

Witnesses said that the screams and cries for help were truly horrifying. For the victims, managing to exit their own vehicles was no safer than staying trapped. One unidentified man managed to exit his own vehicle only to be trapped between two others as more and more cars crashed into the pile up. All in all, 31 vehicles (about 25 cars, 3 tractor trailers, and a few fire trucks and ambulances) contributed to the wreckage that trapped some unfortunate motorists in their cars for more than an hour.

Of those injured, few were critically hurt. Four were admitted to Saint Louis University Hospital, where one victim underwent surgery. The most common injury for today’s pile-up victims was broken bones. No deaths have yet been reported, though one injured man, trapped in the very center of the wreckage, is being treated for back, neck, and hand injuries.

If you or someone you love has been injured in a car crash, you have certain rights. Contact the St. Louis car accident attorneys at Page Law, LLC today. Not everyone needs a lawyer after a crash, but an accident attorney at Page Law will consult on your case to help you decide. There is no cost and no obligation. Our compassionate car crash attorneys will aggressively pursue the highest possible settlement for you claim. Call 1-800-CAR-CRASH any time to speak with a live person.

Unexpected freezing rain this morning led to an unusually high number of car accidents in St. Louis. By the time the temperature rose above freezing, an astonishing 60 accidents had been reported in the Metro area. The most devastating one took place on I-64 between Vandeventer and Kingshighway.

Police said that 26 vehicles were involved in that single wreck, some of which were actually rescue vehicles dispatched to help. The pile-up began just after 6:00 a.m. when a tractor trailer slid on the black ice coating the slope of highway near the Kingshighway ramp. After that, dozens of vehicles (cars, trucks, and even fire truck and ambulances) slid into the wreck. Eventually, the entire highway was blocked by wreckage. Cars continued to lose control and slide on the ice for several minutes.

Sadly, 21 people went to the hospital for treatment of the injuries they suffered in the crash. Only one person was critically injured, and St. Louis commuters had opportunity to show a great deal of character this morning. Several of the able-bodied victims of the crash were seen dragging the immobilized injured from the road to safety as more and more vehicles lost control and slid into the pile up. It was a heroic measure that helped to avoid a major tragedy.

The weather forecast is predicting more freezing rain this week, so keep this in mind:

What to do When Your Car Slides on Ice

1. Take your foot off the accelerator.


2. Steer slowly in the direction the car is drifting (i.e. if the rear of the car is fish-tailing to the right, slowly steer your wheel to the right).


3. Do not over-correct. React slowly, and never jerk the wheel.

Most accidents on ice can be avoided if you can regain control of the car. Always remember to exercise extra caution on bridges, overpasses, and ramps over the winter, as these spots tend to accumulate black ice.

If you have recently been injured a car crash, the experienced car accident attorneys at Page Law can help. Injuries from car crashes like the I-64 pile-up this morning can sometimes have long-term effects. When you have been injured because of someone else’s negligence behind the wheel, you deserve a settlement that reflects all your pain and suffering.

All across the U.S. over 1.2 million people are seriously injured in the workplace. The good news is that these numbers seem to be decreasing, although certain industries, like trucking and delivery, steadily increase year by year. Once such unfortunate accident took place near St. Louis, Missouri the morning of January 18, 2011.

A man in Arnold, Missouri, was critically injured around 10 a.m. while changing a commercial tire. Apparently, the rim of the tire was faulty because the tire exploded, sending him flying into a nearby wall. He suffered blunt trauma to the head as well as thoracic injuries because pieces of the broken rim were imbedded in his abdomen.

The man was at work in an Arnold auto repair shop, and, sadly, by the afternoon was still in very critical condition. It is not yet known exactly why the tire exploded, but the shrapnel injuries from the tire rim do seem to indicate that the truck in question was in ill-repair and that the tire-changing project was dangerous.

Head injuries like this have many possible complications. At the very least, they cause a temporary interruption of normal brain function. At worst, the injured person can suffer from life-long epilepsy or even die.

If you have been injured in an accident at work in Missouri, it is important to understand your legal options. Contact a dedicated and experienced Missouri workplace accident law firm to learn more.

Another hit-and-run car accident in St. Louis this weekend sent shock waves through the city. Last Thursday, a 62 year-old woman was walking her dog near Tower Grove Park when she was struck by an allegedly intoxicated driver who fled the scene. She remains in critical condition. Luckily, the police have apprehended a suspect.

Saturday night, another woman was the victim of a hit and run this weekend in Midtown. She was alone as she exited a nightclub and crossed the street. An unidentified driver in a car with no current description struck and killed her. There were no witnesses to help police fill in the details. The fatal pedestrian accident happened at Grand and Montgomery.

Unfortunately, this intersection is apparently of very unsafe design. Just this January, two other women were struck and killed at the same intersection.

A house fire in Roxana left two children dead this weekend. The fire occurred in a three apartment house on East Third Street. A heroic neighbor alerted authorities and helped evacuate the other two couples living in the house. Soot-covered and gasping for air, four adults and one infant managed to escape the house. Sadly, two children, a boy and girl aged six and five, died in the fire. Firefighters responded to the 9-1-1 call in just four minutes, but said they were still too late, and there was nothing they could have done to save the children. The 6-week-old sister of the two lost children received prompt medical attention for her respiratory distress and seems to be recovering.

The house consisted of three apartments: two on the ground floor and one upstairs. The ground floor units seemed to have had at least one working smoke detector, but fire alarms were conspicuously absent from the unit upstairs. Further investigation determined that the fire was of no suspicious origin, but likely began in the kitchen of the upstairs apartment. It could have started because of old, malfunctioning appliances or a short in the wiring that caused a spark. No matter the cause, the family living in the apartment did not have sufficient warning because there were no working smoke detectors in their home.

If you rent your home, always make sure that the smoke detectors in the house or apartment work properly before signing a lease and moving in. The lessor, or landlord, has an obligation to ensure the safety of the space for those who wish to rent. The presence of working smoke detectors is an indispensable safety measure.

Though nothing will ever replace your lost loved one, a dedicated accidental death lawyer at Page Law can help you recover a monetary settlement to help with funeral costs and other expenses.

When you have been in a car accident, any injury is possible, but one of the most frightening outcomes is a spinal cord injury. Such an injury can cause permanent paralysis or loss of bodily sensation. It can change a person’s entire life. Vehicular collision is the most common cause of spinal cord injuries, and can be linked to any type of lasting spinal paralysis.

The spinal column is divided into four sections of stacking bones, or vertebrae. The site of an injury and the vertebrae affected often determines the severity of a spinal injury. An anatomically higher injury to the spine is sometimes more dangerous than a lower one. For example, if the cervical vertebrae (those of the neck) are injured, the victim may have a lower quality of life than, say, someone injured at the lumbar section (lower back), depending of the severity of the injury. Of course, these statements are general. Several factors contribute to the damage and the resulting permanent injury of a blow to the spine. Only your doctor can tell you exactly how badly you are hurt following a car accident.

The Spinal Cord Injury Information Network has studied these injuries and their effects for over forty years. They have compiled statistics on nearly every aspect of such injuries. One of the most interesting figures they have found is the median cost of a spinal injury based on the age of the person injured and the severity and location of the injury. An experienced St. Louis spinal cord injury lawyer can help recover some of the costs, though they are truly staggering.
A twenty-five year old person injured at the neck could incur over millions of dollars in expenses related to the injury. Even a healthy young person with no lasting paralysis or motor loss can expect medical expenses in excess of a million dollars over their life. Furthermore, these numbers show an astonishing increase as the age of the injured person increases.

If you or someone you love has suffered a spinal cord injury because of a Missouri driver’s carelessness, you have a right to legal action. Contact the dedicated St. Louis car accident lawyers at Page Law at 314-322-8515 today for a free and extensive consultation on your case.

A new study from the Institute of Environmental Assessment and Water Research shows that smoke from fireworks can be harmful to your health, according to ScienceDaily.com.

The study looked at fiestas in Spain, which feature fireworks displays, and found that the smoke released from fireworks contains metallic particles that can be harmful to inhale. The metallic particles are added to gunpowder in order to produce colors and special effects, and the particles are tiny enough to be inhaled deeply into the lungs.

The effects from inhaling the smoke are most serious in those people with asthma or cardiovascular health problems. The study did not discuss what the effects are of inhaling smoke from fireworks by people not affected by respiratory or cardiovascular disorders.

In order to prevent health damage from fireworks, scientists recommend that spectators keep their distance from the smoke from fireworks, and look at wind direction to determine where the smoke might blow. This is particularly true for people with health problems. For those planning fireworks displays, they should be planned in a place to make sure the smoke blows away from large groups of people to avoid inhalation of the harmful metallic particles.

Although most people can avoid fireworks displays if necessary, not everyone can avoid being exposed to deadly chemicals and therefore suffering chemical inhalation injuries. Sometimes, chemical inhalation occurs when a company illegally disposes of hazardous chemicals. Chemical inhalation injuries could also occur if a semi-truck carrying dangerous chemicals crashes and dumps those chemicals into the environment.

If you have suffered health problems as a result of exposure to dangerous chemicals, contact the Missouri chemical inhalation attorneys at Page Law, LLC. We have the experience, knowledge, and skills needed to help you with your chemical inhalation case. Contact our experienced lawyers today at 314-322-8515.

A freshman from Kansas University has sued a fraternity because of serious injuries he received while at a frat party, according to LJWorld.com.

The freshman was injured in September 2010 after he was allegedly ordered to dive into a homemade pool at a party hosted by the fraternity. The pool was made of sandbags and a tarp. As a result of the stunt, the student suffered serious spinal cord injuries, including permanent spine damage and paralysis.

The man’s lawsuit was filed in Missouri because that is where the fraternity conducts its business, and the member of the chapter house association who specialized in pledge treatment and education is also based there. In the lawsuit, he claims that officials at the fraternity knew there had been problems in the past with that particular party, and that national fraternity officials warned the chapters not to build any pools or ponds. The suit also claims that minors were allowed to drink at the party.

After the accident, the college placed the fraternity on probation, finding that it violated the rules against hazing. All members were required to complete community service. However, the college was not able to prove that fraternity members ordered the man to jump in the pool, but they were able to find three other forms of hazing had taken place.

This fraternity could be held liable for the student’s injuries under a theory of premises liability. A property owner or occupier can be held liable for any injuries that come from a dangerous condition on their property. They have a duty to protect people lawfully on their property from injuries that could result from hazardous conditions, such as this homemade swimming pool.

The tragic events of December 10, 2010, left one Missouri student dead and one in jail. In Springfield, a Mizzou student ran off the road and onto the sidewalk near St. Louis Street and Fremont Avenue. The driver was badly injured, and was hospitalized before being released to the police with a charge of involuntary manslaughter. A pedestrian, another student, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The driver spent less than a month in the Greene County Jail before posting a bond of $25,000. Springfield authorities are diligently searching the minute details of the crash like engine RPMs, brake capability, and seatbelt use to determine the driver’s liability. Shockingly, they have also requested his medical records. They seem to be looking for an explanation of certain unsettling blood test results.

A Missouri wrongful death accident, such as this is an all-too-common occurrence, according to the Missouri Bicycle and Pedestrian Federation. Every year, 1400 pedestrians in Missouri are injured by motor vehicles. The MBPF estimates that, of those injured, about seventy Missouri pedestrians die every year. In fact, in November 2010, a high school student was hit and killed by a school bus while walking to school in St. Joseph Missouri.
