Workers in Missouri can face a range of workplace safety hazards on the job, even in unexpected places. While workers in industries like construction may be very aware of the threat of workplace accidents, office employees or others with less physical jobs may be unaware of the risks they also face on the job. For example, slip-and-fall accidents can have serious consequences that can even be fatal. In 2014 alone, 660 workers lost their lives after falling from a height. Perhaps more shockingly, 138 workers were killed when they fell at the same level.
What to do when you are in a crash with an uninsured driver
In the state of Missouri, same as any other state in the country, drivers need to carry auto insurance at all times. The Missouri Department of Insurance states drivers need to carry liability insurance of at least $10,000 in property damage, $50,000 in accident coverage and $25,000 per person.
Keep track of important details after a car crash
Missouri drivers can take action after a car accident to help to protect themselves and their ability to pursue compensation after the crash. This is especially important for people who have been injured or had their vehicle damaged after an auto accident caused by another driver's dangerous, distracted or negligent driving. Of course, the most important immediate task after stopping at the accident scene is pursuing emergency medical care; when no urgent treatment is necessary, it is still important to visit the doctor later.
