Car crashes can happen to anyone. A couple of weeks ago an accident on 64 Eastbound left a motorist trapped in their car and traffic backed up for miles. The accident closed down several lanes and left four lanes fighting to cram into two.

Fortunately, there were no fatalities, but the trapped motorist was extracted from their car and taken to the hospital.

While most car accidents don't reach this level of carnage, they are always traumatic to those involved. It's always a wise decision to reach out to the best attorneys to see what your options are following such a crash.

Remember not all injuries are immediately apparent in an auto accident, so it's best to err on the side of caution. If there's any possibility of an injury you should get checked out by the EMTs at the scene or visit your local ER. Regardless of the level of injury, it is in your best interest to speak with your local St. Louis personal injury attorneys to make sure that you're covered in all aspects of the accident.

Don’t forget that others in the accident may be injured as well and you should protect yourself against any lawsuit by talking to your St. Louis personal injury attorneys. By seeking counsel with Hoffman & Gelfman you protect not only yourself but also your loved ones from the financial woes of an accident.
