Stay Cool and Safe: Tips for Beating the Heat at Kansas and Missouri Lakes

Stay cool and be safe.  That's the message from the Missouri State Highway Patrol as incredible heat wave continutes to linger around.  Rep's from the state's Water Patrol say there have already been fourteen deaths on the state's waterways in the month of July, including nine drownings in one 7-day stretch.  Our experienced Kansas City Personal Injury Attorneys want you to be safe during this brutal heat wave.
