Kansas City Drivers and Emergency Vehicles

According to the National Safety Council and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) over 18,000 people were injured in 2004 from accidents caused by emergency vehicles. Another 170 people were killed in accidents caused by emergency vehicles. Kansas City car accidents that are caused by emergency vehicles may leave the victims with many questions about their rights.
Most victims of accidents involving emergency vehicles are the civilian drivers who are on the road and get in the way of the emergency responders.
Emergency responders are heroes to their communities. They work to protect the lives of the citizens they serve. They are indeed public servants.
But even with the high honor that comes with the job also comes the responsibility to protect the public while they are in the course of the job. Emergency responders must work carefully to protect the public when they are in vehicles responding to emergency calls. They have that solemn responsibility as well.
There are things that you can do to help keep yourself safe. Keep on the lookout for lights from the emergency vehicles. Listen for sirens. When you see an emergency vehicle, always yield the right-of way. Pull over to the far left side of the road. Be sure to watch for subsequent vehicles.
Be sure that you do not stop in an intersection. Get safely through the intersection and pull over to the left as quickly as possible.
If you are the victim of an accident caused by an emergency vehicle, do not leave the question of your rights up to guessing. Contact the Kansas City personal injury lawyers at Kansas City Accident Injury Attorneys at 888-348-2616. Ask about a free initial consultation.
