Buckle Up: Kansas City Woman Not Wearing Seatbelt during Serious Injury Crash

Highway travel is no fun sometimes. We’ve been fortunate that winter has yet to turn its ugly head and cover the metro area with blanket of snow and ice. But just because the roads are safe for travel doesn’t always mean the roads are safe for travel. Attentive driving begins when you get behind the wheel and doesn’t end until you take the key out of the ignition at your destination.

Seat belts laws exist to protect motorists in Kansas and Missouri.

Last week, north of Kansas City, a 37 year old woman was seriously injured in a rollover accident that also injured her 2 year old son. The accident happened near Claycomo, MO. Both mother and toddler were rushed to a nearby hospital and treated for injuries listed as serious to moderate.

Our experienced Kansas City Auto Injury Attorneys want you to travel safe this winter. Remember to take highway on ramps and exits at the posted speed limit. These laws are there for a reason. Speeding on ramps is a high cause for serious injury accidents in these areas. As indicated in the news story, the woman was not wearing a seat belt, which could be the reason she was so seriously injured. While seat belts can be uncomfortable, they do help reduce the severity of injuries in single vehicle accident.
