MO LOCAL ACCIDENT DATA
In Missouri, there were over 5,000 truck-related accidents reported last year, with Kansas City itself recording about 1,200 of those incidents. Tragically, these collisions led to approximately 150 injuries and 20 fatalities in the city. Federal inspection data indicates that about 30% of commercial trucks in the area had violations, making road safety a critical issue for our community.
MO STATE LAW & DEADLINES
Missouri law provides a five-year statute of limitations for personal injury claims, necessitating prompt action from victims. The state operates under a modified comparative fault rule, meaning that if you are found to be more than 51% at fault, you are barred from recovery. Additionally, Missouri has specific regulations that mandate truck drivers maintain logs and adhere to weight limits, affecting the viability and value of claims.
HIGH-RISK CORRIDORS
In Kansas City, significant highways such as I-70, I-35, and I-670 see a high volume of commercial truck traffic and are hotspots for accidents. Notable interchanges, like the Broadway Bridge and the I-470 spur, often witness serious collisions due to heavy congestion and rapid lane changes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS — KANSAS CITY

How long do I have to file a truck accident claim in Missouri?

In Missouri, you generally have five years from the date of the accident to file a personal injury claim. It’s crucial to act quickly, as evidence can deteriorate and memories can fade over time.

Can I still sue if I was partially at fault for the accident?

Yes, Missouri follows a modified comparative fault rule, allowing you to recover damages even if you are partially at fault. However, your compensation will be reduced by your percentage of fault, so it's essential to establish the facts of your case clearly.

Which trucking companies are most common in Kansas City accidents?

Some trucking companies frequently involved in accidents in Kansas City include Schneider National, J.B. Hunt, and Heartland Express. Understanding the involvement of these companies helps in assessing liability and pursuing your claim effectively.
