Child Suffers Critical Injuries in Missouri Truck Accident

A 7-year-old girl is in critical condition after the vehicle she was a passenger in was struck by a semi tractor trailer on Interstate 29. According to a news report in the St. Joseph News-Press, the Missouri truck accident occurred when the girl was traveling in a 1999 Jeep driven by her mother. Two other children were also in the Jeep. The collision happened when the 72-year-old driver of the semi attempted to move back in the driving lane. The mother sustained serious injuries and was taken to a hospital. The two other children were treated and released, but the young girl remains hospitalized with critical injuries. The driver of the semi died from injuries he suffered in the accident.

In any truck accident case where the truck driver is at fault, the injured victims may seek compensation from the truck driver’s employer, the trucking company. In such cases, victims may seek compensation to cover medical costs, cost of surgery, hospitalization, and even the cost of long-term care and rehabilitation.
