  • "My Joplin lawyer handled my legal issue more efficiently and promptly than I thought was possible. I had been working on it by myself without a lawyer for over three months when I called him to help out. JoplinLawyers.com immediately took action and got me a settlement within three weeks. I breathed a huge sigh of relief because it had been weighing heavily on me for months. Thank you JoplinLawyers.com!"- Todd

Automobile Accidents

The automobile accident attorneys at Buchanan & Williams will protect your rights anywhere in Missouri, including Joplin and Carthage.

Car and truck vehicular accidents are a leading cause of death in the United States and Missouri. Today’s car and truck drivers are more distracted than ever before due to drivers commonly talking on their cell phones, sending texts, using their GPS navigational systems, or changing the radio station. Every driver accepts responsibility for the safety of everyone else on the road when they get behind the wheel of a motor vehicle. Negligent drivers should be held accountable when they kill or injure someone and our firm has been handling automobile accident cases for forty years.

We can and will help if you or a loved one has been injured in an automobile accident.

Insurance companies often refuse to take responsibility for their insured’s actions even where negligence is clear. Our trial-experienced and aggressive lawyers will hold the negligent driver and his or her insurance company accountable and will help you recover the compensation you deserve.
