Each and every auto accident is different, each resulting in differing levels of damages, injuries and losses. We understand the emotional, physical and financial consequences that individuals injured in automobile collisions go through and promptly prosecute each claim to obtain the maximum possible recovery for each injured client.  In Missouri and Illinois, if the other driver is negligent you should be entitled to receive compensation for property damage, for your medical bills and expenses, pain and suffering, mental anguish, lost wages and/or lost income. If the negligent driver was also reckless, such as driving under the influence, you may also be entitled to punitive damages, in addition to your actual damages.  In addition, depending on the facts of your case, you may be entitled to seek damages from not only the negligent driver and his or her insurance company, but also your own automobile insurance company as well.  Our attorneys handle these cases, underinsured and uninsured motorist cases, on a regular basis and are intimately familiar with the statutory and common law rules regarding these matters.

Our firm handles personal injury and wrongful death claims arising out of collisions with tractor trailers.  If you or a loved one have been injured as a result of a collision with a tractor trailer, it is important to contact an attorney experienced in this area as soon as possible as it is critical that an investigation be initiated immediately after a collision.  Evidence may be lost or destroyed following a collision and there is a limited amount of time that trucking companies must maintain many records related to their drivers, including evidence regarding driver hours, miles driven and violations.

The federal government regulates the trucking industry by enacting and enforcing the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.  These regulations govern all aspects of the trucking industry from pre-employment screening, inspections, safety plans, driver hours, reporting requirements and maintaining drivers’ logs.  These regulations also provide a framework for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration to determine a carrier’s safety rating.  The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations were recently updated in 2010 to improve the reporting requirement for carrier regarding safety concerns involving commercial motor carriers.  This new system, called the Compliance Safety Accountability (CSA) replaces the SafeStat system the government had utilized for years to collect information on motor carriers.  The new system evaluates the carrier in seven areas that the government has determined are critical to crash prevention and uses a motor carrier’s data from roadside inspections, including all safety based violations and state reported crashes to identify high risk motor carriers.

If you have been injured in a collision with a tractor trailer it is imperative that you retain an attorney with a thorough knowledge of the trucking industry, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and the Federal Motor Safety Regulations.  Mr. Boock has successfully prosecuted several injury and wrongful death claims against trucking companies throughout his career.  Contact the attorneys at Rossiter & Boock, LLC now for a free consultation regarding your claim.

Property owners have a responsibility to maintain their property in a reasonably safe manner and protect individuals who are invited to their property from dangerous conditions on their land.  These cases are based on the reasonable expectation that premises we visit are safe.  However, this is often not the case and if you were injured as a result of lack of maintenance or obvious safety problems, you may have a right to sue the land owner or responsible party for damages you have suffered.

These types of cases can be very difficult to prove as evidence regarding the dangerous condition can disappear, be repaired or altered by the property owner.  As such it is imperative that the dangerous condition be documented as promptly as possible.  For this and other reasons, it is important that you seek help from an experienced personal injury attorney as soon as possible if you’ve been injured as a result of another party’s negligence to maintain their property in a reasonably safe manner.  If you have been injured because of the poor maintenance of unsafe property, the attorneys at Rossiter & Boock, LLC, may be able to assist you with your claim and help you get the financial compensation you need to pay for your medical bills, lost wages, and other expenses.
