Drivers and pedestrians in St. Louis and the surrounding areas must share the road and keep a close eye on one another. When people are on the road in any capacity, an accident can happen without warning and there are many reasons why they occur. Regardless of the details of the accident, people can face personal injury and loss of life after an accident. There is significantly higher danger when it is an auto-pedestrian accident. These are made far worse when it is a hit-and-run. Drivers are required by law to stop and check on a person after there has been a pedestrian accident. Knowing what to do after a crash of this type is key to the future.
Do you know your consumer rights?
Not many things are more frustrating than when you bring home a new purchase that you are excited about, only to find out it is defective or does not work. Maybe you were even misled into believing the product was something else than what it really is. Unfortunately, this is an all too common experience for consumers. To combat this frustrating scenario, there is consumer protection legislation in place to protect from such occurrences. If you are not aware of what these protections are, it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with them.
