St. Charles County crash sends three to the hospital
Three people were hospitalized Saturday in a two-car Missouri injury accident on Highway 94 in St. Charles County.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the accident occurred when Jason Gamarin, 32, failed to yield to another vehicle at the intersection of Highway 94 and South Breeze Lane. Gamarin pulled his 2002 Chevrolet S10 into the path of a 2010 BMW 328I, driven by Jacob Haman, 27. Haman was unable to avoid a collision and crashed into the side of the pickup truck.
Haman was injured and taken by ambulance to St. John's Mercy in Creve Coeur. Two passengers in his car, Jennifer Hawkins, 25, and Dylan Hawkins, 6, were also injured and taken to St. John's Mercy. Haman and Jennifer Hawkins' injuries were described as relatively minor, but Dylan Hawkins' injuries were more serious. Gamarin was not listed as injured on the initial crash report.
Typically, the at-fault driver's liability insurance would pay the injured party for any medical bills or other expenses arising from a Missouri car crash. The description of the accident in the initial report needs to be corroborated by further investigation, though, as the initial crash reports are not definitive descriptions of an accident and they alone can't prove liability.
Often, insurance companies will look for ways to lower the amount they pay out for an accident. It is advisable not to talk to the insurance representative until you have consulted a St. Louis area personal injury attorney to discuss your legal rights.
