$29 Million Settlement in Head-On Crash-- Should Kansas and Missouri Be Held Accountable for Highway Crashes?

At Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys, we feel it is about state departments began to shoulder some responsibility for at least some of the serious injury and fatal car accidents that happen on Kansas and Missouri highways.  A precedent may hve been set in California, where a jury just awarded the victims of a 2006 head on crash  $29 million claiming the California Department of Transportation failed to make the proper improvements to the highway to keep it safe.

The fatal auto accident happened in 2006 on Highway 12 in San Francisco, California when Nicola Bucci fell asleep at the wheel and went into oncoming traffic slamming into another car, killing two children and paralyzing another. The children's mother spent months in the hospital, recovering from severe injuries.
