Missouri’s beautiful landscapes, rivers and tourist attractions bring in much traffic in and around Southeast Missouri. Many commercial and passenger vehicles regularly use our highways, along with our locals and visitors, to travel through the state. Car wrecks can still occur even when drivers are being cautious and obeying all traffic and speed laws.

The Cape Girardeau auto accident attorneys are dedicated to finding justice for victims suffering catastrophic injuries due to car wrecks. According to the latest statistics published by the Missouri Department of Transportation, in 2013:

– 2,286 car wrecks occurred

– 377 people died from car wrecks

– 1,909 people were severely injured by a car wreck

The three main causes of car wrecks are distracted driving, speeding and drunk driving. Distracted driving continues to be the No.1 leading cause of car wrecks in America. Examples include talking on the phone, eating, reading, fixing make-up or talking to passengers. Speeding contributes to about 1/3 of all car wrecks.
