10/22/2016

0 Comments

 
An estimated 35,000+ people died, across the United States, in traffic related deaths, last year. Kansas had almost an eight percent increase in accidents in 2015. Some intersections present a greater statistical danger for accidents. According to the most recently published data, here are Kansas City's most dangerous intersections:
  1. I-435 & I-70: 30 crashes
  2. Gregory & Bruce Watkins Drive: 15 crashes
  3. Westport & Broadway: 14 crashes
  4. Emanuel Cleaver II & Bruce Watkins Drive: 13 crashes
  5. I-435 & Holmes: 13 crashes
  6. Barry Road & Prairie View Drive: 13 crashes
  7. 55th & Bruce Watkins Drive: 12 crashes
  8. 63rd & Prospect: 12 crashes
  9. I-70 & Van Brunt: 12 crashes
  10. Barry Road & N. Oak Trafficway: 12 crashes

Accident Causes
Car accidents at these intersections were caused by a number of things, most often it is the negligence of another driver (ex. speeding, texting while driving,etc..). Crashes, in Kansas City, were also caused by:
  • defective products (ex. defective tires),
  • road hazards (ex. construction hazards), and
  • failure to maintain roadways (ex. failure by the city to trim trees blocking traffic signals) 
Injuries
Statistics show that you are more likely to be in a car accident in your lifetime than in another kind of accident. Like most accidents, the injuries can range from minor to major. Some possible injuries include:
  • Burns
  • Paralysis
  • Broken bones 
  • Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI)
  • Spinal cord injury
  • Limb amputation
  • Psychological damage
  • Death
Injuries of this kind may: require extended hospital stays, ongoing rehabilitative therapy and personal therapy, and/or cause permanent disfigurement, death and/or scarring. 

What are the damages you may be entitled to compensation for?
You may be entitled to damages, for your accident, even when it occurs in identified dangerous intersection zones. The possible damages include, among others:
  • Medical expenses
  • Property damage
  • Lost wages
  • Future earnings
  • Mental anguish
  • Pain and suffering
  • Loss of consortium (in the case of a spouse)
