Head-on Collision in St. Francois County Seriously Injures Both Drivers

Our St. Louis, Mo car crash attorneys have been notified of a 2-vehicle collision that occurred Wednesday afternoon in St. Francois County. Miriam Counts (Ironton, MO) was operating her vehicle westbound on Route NN when an oncoming vehicle being driven by Tamra Sykes (Middlebrook, MO) crossed the centerline in to Counts' lane. Sykes caused a sudden head on impact between the two vehicles, further injuring herself and Ms. Counts. Emergency responders arrived at the scene and transported both Sykes and Counts to the nearest emergency room. Miriam Counts was listed as having sustained 'serious' injuries at the time of her transport.

Ambulance transportation and emergency room care alone create a substantial amount of medical bills which drivers hope they are never faced with. Day after day we witness the devastating effects that careless drivers cause to other Missouri drivers as a result of their irresponsible actions. More often than not, medical bills continue to accumulate after the emergency room – this can easily happen with doctor visits, follow ups, therapy, etc. Often times injured individuals find themselves under a high amount of stress due to mounting medical bills and an inability to work.

Hiring a car accident attorney at the onset of your injury claim can likely 'save' you from some of these foreseeable financial troubles. Many medical providers in our network are willing, able, and highly qualified to provide you expert medical treatment while not collecting any payment. You are given the exact medical treatment required for your injuries, often with some of Missouri's top-rated physicians. You literally do not pay a dime until the settlement of your claim. This saves you a great deal of stress during the injury recovery process where you are essentially freed from billing offices, calls from collection companies, and threatening pieces of mail demanding payment on accounts.

This is just one area in which an accident injury attorney can be beneficial to your crash personal injury claim. You are under no obligation nor owe anything for contacting a lawyer or discussing your case over the phone. With nothing to lose and everything to gain, it is in your best interests to review a potential case with an experienced lawyer before discussing it with an insurance claims adjuster.
