Injured in a Motorcycle Accident in St. Louis?
If you have suffered an injury in a motorcycle accident in or around St. Louis, Missouri, it's in your best interest to consult an attorney at Page Cagle as soon as possible to discuss your legal rights and options. Under Missouri personal injury law, motorcycle accident victims are legally entitled to compensation if the accident was caused by the negligent, reckless, or careless actions of another. This might include negligence on the part of another motorist on the road, or on the part of a company or corporation. For example, if a defect with the motorcycle causes an accident to occur, such as brake failure, the company that manufactured the motorcycle can be held liable for damages. At Page Cagle, we will thoroughly analyze the circumstances leading up to your accident to determine who is at fault for the accident and thus liable for your injuries. From there, we will aggressively pursue a verdict or settlement for maximum compensation. Our goal is to ensure you are justly compensated for your pain and suffering, emotional trauma, medical bills, lost wages, and any other hardship incurred due to the accident.

| Mother files wrongful death suit over helicopter crash |
| Posted By Zane Cagle |
|
| The mother of an Oklahoma woman who died in an helicopter crash last month has filed a wrongful death suit against multiple defendants, including the helicopter pilot's estate and a California business.
The wrongful death suit claimed that the pilot, who also died in the accident, negligently operated the aircraft, causing the accident and the subsequent death of the plaintiff's daughter.
In many cases involving airplane crashes, the fact that the accident occurred in the first place implies some element of negligence on the pilot's behalf. If you were injured or lost a loved one in an accident, you may have a personal injury or wrongful death claim. At Page Cagle, our premier Personal Injury Attorneys have the skills and expertise to successfully litigate your case and are available now to answer any of your questions.

| Mother sues White Sox and Chicago bar after hit-and-run |
| Posted By Zane Cagle |
|
| The mother of university student in Illinois filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the Chicago White Sox and a Chicago bar over the death of her daughter in a hit-and-run accident, claiming both establishments allowed her to purchase and consume alcohol prior to her death.
The plaintiff's daughter was only 20 years old last year when she attended a White Sox game with a group of friends. She was served alcohol at the game from stadium vendors and later went to defendant's bar that night. After leaving the bar, she was hit by a car while attempting to walk home intoxicated.
In her 18-count suit, the plainitff cites wrongful death, negligence and the Illinois Dram Shop Act. First, the vendors at the game failed to check Lech's identification and allowed a minor to consume alcohol. Second, the bar and its owners were negligent in allowing an intoxicated minor into the bar and for possibly over-serving the patron who fatally struck her daughter with his car.
At the time of her death, the daughter had a BAC level of .23, nearly four times the legal limit to drive. From her injuries, it appeared she had been either kneeling or sitting on the roadway.
If you were injured in an accident involving alcohol, you may have a legal claim for compensation. Contact our experienced Personal Injury Attorneys at Page Cagle in St. Louis today for a free consultation. |
