What to do after a Hazelwood crash

Once everyone is safe, let a medical team examine you and keep each page they give you. Within a day, photograph the I-270, I-170 or Lindbergh Boulevard scene, your car and the weather, and write down the St. Louis County police or highway patrol report number. A search for a car accident lawyer near me is common that first night and perfectly fine. Hold off on recorded statements to the other driver's side until you understand what they are after.

Hazelwood's roads and crash situations

Hazelwood is a city in north St. Louis County where I-270 and I-170 interchange, with Lindbergh Boulevard (US 67) running through and St. Louis Lambert International Airport just to the south. I-270 carries heavy truck and commuter traffic around the metro area, and the I-170 interchange sees weaving and merging crashes at speed. Lindbergh's signals and business driveways produce rear-end and left-turn collisions. The airport and the large aerospace and manufacturing sites nearby generate shift traffic and travelers in a hurry. Missouri winters bring ice and snow, and summer thunderstorms cause hydroplaning on the interstates.

What the free case review covers

Dial at any time and a person answers, in English, Spanish or Arabic. We ask what happened, how you feel and what the officer wrote, then explain how Missouri decides fault and which records matter. The free consultation costs nothing, signs nothing and promises nothing. You finish the call with a short list of items to save, a few statements to avoid and an honest sense of whether a lawyer would likely help.

How we connect you with a Missouri attorney

Legal Gridlock runs this introduction line, and none of us gives legal advice. After listening, we connect you with a car accident attorney licensed in Missouri who handles north St. Louis County crashes, from interchange pileups on I-270 to airport area collisions and Lindbergh intersection wrecks. The attorney studies the facts and tells you honestly if the case is one to pursue. If it is not, you will hear it promptly. Plenty of Hazelwood families begin with one short call and decide later.

After you retain a lawyer

When you hire a personal injury lawyer, the other side is told to contact the office instead of you. The lawyer then requests the Missouri report, gathers medical bills and searches for video from highway cameras, trucks or businesses. You keep your appointments and write down how the injury changes your days. Once your doctors can describe your outlook, talks begin, and your lawyer explains each proposal and whether to file in St. Louis County.

Questions people ask

I was hit by a taxi leaving Lambert Airport. Who answers for it?

The driver is responsible for their conduct, and the cab company or owner may share responsibility if the driver was working. Note the company name, vehicle number and plate. Cab and rideshare companies keep trip data, so a prompt preservation letter from a lawyer helps identify the right parties.

Missouri uses pure comparative fault. What does that mean for me?

In Hazelwood, it means you can recover even if you are mostly to blame, with the amount reduced by your percentage. No cutoff wipes out the claim. The other side may still argue to raise your share, so photographs, witness names and a clear timeline help keep the percentage honest.

The I-270 construction zone confused me and I hit a barrier. Is the contractor responsible?

Possibly, if signs, lane shifts or barriers were set up unsafely, but contractors and the state have defenses and deadlines. Photograph the layout and signs as soon as you can, note the lane and time, and tell a lawyer quickly so the right records can be requested.

How long does a lawyer in St. Louis take to answer a first call?

Many respond within a day, and some the same day. When you call us, we pass your details along so the personal injury attorney can contact you, in your preferred language. If you want a quick callback, tell us the best hours and number to use.
