Meyerkord and Meyerkord Pursues Claim against Missouri Department of Transportation for Defective Road Conditions which Result in Paralysis

"Meyerkord and Meyerkord, a Legacy of Legal Innovation"

The dedicated attorneys of Meyerkord and Meyerkord, LLC, are currently pursuing a claim against the Missouri Department of Transportation for failure to ensure the safety of Missouri drivers by installing appropriate shoulder and safety rail safeguards for rural highways. Expert investigation has shown that the design of the road in question was defective, hazardous, and caused the accident which led to the client’s paralysis. The rural highway in question contained steep slopes and turns, and the roadway pavement lacked a shoulder or guardrail.Further, the pavement of the roadway sharply dropped off (up to ten inches in some places throughout the curve), thus drastically increasing the likelihood of vehicle turnovers. Prior to the client’s accident in 2006, 24 other car accidents occurred at the same site, 22 of which led to the vehicle leaving the roadway. According to an expert in highway design, the Missouri Department of Transportation, by its own policies, identified this location as hazardous but failed to repair the dangers facing Missouri drivers.
