A wreck at Eastbound I-70 at the 96.2 mile marker occurred in Cooper County the morning of May 13, 2026. A 2017 Freightliner Cascadia, driven by a 35-year-old man from Independence, ran off the left side of the roadway. The driver overcorrected and hit a 2024 Freightliner Cascadia, driven by a 42-year-old Garden City man and ran off the right side of the road. The 2017 Cascadia then crossed the road and overturned. The Independence man was transported to University Hospital by ambulance with moderate injuries. Collisions involving two semi-trucks can result in some of the most dangerous and catastrophic accidents on the road. When one commercial truck crashes into another, the force of the impact can lead to multi-vehicle pileups, overturned trailers, spilled cargo, fires, and severe roadway hazards for everyone nearby. These accidents are often caused by driver fatigue, speeding, distracted driving, unsafe lane changes, poor weather conditions, or violations of federal trucking safety regulations. Because semi-truck crashes frequently involve multiple trucking companies, insurance carriers, and complex liability issues, investigating these accidents requires experienced legal representation. If you or a loved one has been injured in an accident involving two semi-trucks, contact Daniel Finder at Finder Law LLC today. An experienced personal injury attorney can help investigate the crash, determine who is responsible, and fight for the compensation you deserve for medical expenses, lost income, pain and suffering, and other damages. All facts are based on preliminary reports from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

A crash occurred in Camden County on May 11, 2026 on MO 7 at MO 5. A 68-year-old woman from Camdenton, driving a 2002 Oldsmobile Alero, was following a 2014 Volkswagen Passat, driven by a 69-year-old female from Oklahoma, too closely when the Oldsmobile struck the rear of the Volkswagen. The driver from Oklahoma was taken by ambulance to Lake Regional Hospital with minor injuries. Rear-end collisions are often caused by drivers who follow too closely and fail to leave enough distance to stop safely. Tailgating reduces reaction time and greatly increases the likelihood of a crash when traffic suddenly slows or stops. Even at lower speeds, a rear-end accident can result in serious injuries such as whiplash, neck and back injuries, concussions, and long-term chronic pain. In many cases, the driver who rear-ends another vehicle may be held responsible for the damages caused by the collision. If you have been injured in a rear-end accident caused by a careless or distracted driver, you should not have to deal with the financial and physical consequences alone. Contact Daniel Finder at Finder Law LLC today to discuss your case and learn how an experienced personal injury attorney can help you pursue the compensation you deserve for your injuries, medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. All facts are based on preliminary reports from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Two vehicles were totaled in a Callaway County crash on May 9, 2026 on Old US 40 at Route M. The crash occurred when a 74-year-old Fulton man driving a 2025 Honda CRV pulled out in front of a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by a 69-year-old man from New Haven. The driver of the Honda was taken by ambulance to University Hospital with minor injuries. When another driver suddenly pulls out in front of you, there is often little or no time to react. These accidents commonly occur at intersections, parking lot exits, side streets, or when a driver fails to yield the right of way. Even a careful driver traveling at a safe speed may be unable to avoid a collision when another vehicle unexpectedly enters their path. The impact can cause serious injuries, including whiplash, back injuries, broken bones, and traumatic brain injuries, leaving victims facing medical bills, lost wages, and ongoing pain. If you were injured because another driver pulled out in front of you, you may be entitled to compensation for your damages.  Contact Daniel Finder at Finder Law LLC today to discuss your case and learn how an experienced personal injury attorney can help protect your rights and fight for the compensation you deserve.

When a loved one passes away, navigating the probate process can already feel overwhelming. Add liens into the equation, and things can quickly become more complicated.

Highway collisions are among the most serious types of motor vehicle accidents in Missouri, often resulting in catastrophic injuries or fatalities. When vehicles collide at high rates of speed, the force of impact can lead to devastating consequences—both physically and financially. If you or a loved one has been injured in a high-speed crash on a Missouri highway, you may be entitled to significant compensation. Why Highway Accidents Are So Dangerous On Missouri highways such as I-70, Highway 63, or I-44, traffic often moves well above 65 mph. At those speeds, even small mistakes can turn deadly. Common causes of high-speed accidents include: Distracted or reckless driving Following too closely or unsafe lane changes Drifting across lanes or failing to signal Impaired or fatigued driving Drivers losing control on wet or icy roads Because of the physics involved, a high-speed crash can result in severe injuries like traumatic brain injury, spinal damage, broken bones, internal bleeding, or permanent disability. Immediate medical attention and legal representation are both critical. When the At-Fault Driver Was Speeding or Breaking Traffic Laws In Missouri, speeding is more than a traffic infraction—it’s a clear example of negligence that can make the at-fault driver legally responsible for the damages they cause. The same applies to other dangerous violations, including: Running red lights or stop signs Exceeding posted limits in construction zones Aggressive driving, tailgating, or refusing to yield Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs Proof of a traffic citation, police report, or witness testimony can all serve as powerful evidence in your personal injury claim. An experienced attorney can gather and preserve that evidence to build a strong case for maximum compensation. Your Legal Rights After a High-Speed Collision If another driver’s recklessness caused your injuries, you have the right to seek compensation for: Emergency care and ongoing medical treatment Lost wages and reduced future earning capacity Pain, suffering, and emotional trauma Property damage and other related losses A skilled Missouri personal injury attorney can handle insurance negotiations, ensure your medical records are properly documented, and prepare your case for trial if necessary.

The GMC was totaled in the crash, but the other vehicles had minor to moderate damage.

The Camdenton man was transported by ambulance to Lake Regional Hospital. Both vehicles were totaled. A rear-end crash can leave victims dealing with painful injuries, mounting medical bills, lost income, and emotional stress long after the accident happens.

Several adults were injured in a Miller County crash of Route Z south of Route y on May 3, 2026. A 71-year-old Eldon woman driving a 2015 Nissan Altima turned left into the path of a Subaru Outback, driven by a 36-year-old Eldon woman, when attempting to turn left into a private driveway. Both drivers, as well as the 16-year-old male occupant of the Subaru were all taken by ambulance to Lake Regional Hospital with minor to moderate injuries. Both vehicles sustained extensive damage. Trying to make a left turn can quickly lead to a collision if timing, visibility, or right-of-way is misjudged, often resulting in serious injuries and significant damage. These accidents are common at intersections and can leave drivers facing unexpected medical bills, lost time at work, and disputes over who was at fault. Even when the situation seems clear, insurance companies may still try to reduce what they pay or shift responsibility. Having a personal injury attorney can help ensure your claim is handled fairly and that you’re not left dealing with the aftermath on your own. If you’ve been injured in a left-turn accident, don’t take on the process alone— contact Daniel Finder at Finder Law, LLC today to discuss your case and get the support you need.

The driver placed the vehicle in reverse, accelerated, and hit the pedestrian. The pedestrian was airlifted to University Hospital with serious injuries. When a pedestrian is hit by a vehicle, the consequences are often severe, leaving victims with serious injuries, overwhelming medical expenses, and a long road to recovery.
