Intersections in Creve Coeur That Pose a Risk of Collision
The stretch of Interstate 270 that runs through Creve Coeur may pose a high risk of an accident, especially as vehicles enter and exit the interstate. The stretch of Highway 67 (Lindbergh Blvd) that runs through northeastern Creve Coeur may pose a similar hazard, as motorists can be confused by the exits and network of nearby roadways such confusion can lead to accidents.
Olive Boulevard is a central traffic artery in Creve Coeur, and many crashes happen on Olive. Further, there are several intersections where other roads cross Ladue Road, including Lindbergh Boulevard, I-270, and New Ballas Road. Such intersections may pose an abnormal risk of accidents.

Local Factors That Can Increase the Risk of an Accident in Creve Coeur
Being located so close to Clayton and other congested parts of St. Louis, Creve Coeur deals with the traffic density issues common in major metropolitan areas.
This includes:
- A high volume of motorists on the road at all times of day
- The frustration and rage that motorists often experience in high-traffic areas
- Roads that are not generally in the best shape
- Frequent construction, which can cause confusion and increase the risk of accidents
- Pedestrians and motor vehicles being in close quarters
While accidents can happen anywhere, motorists in Creve Coeur must exercise great caution to avoid causing a collision.
Weather Always Poses a Hazard to Motorists
There are few greater hazards to motorists than the weather. When weather conditions are unfavorable, motorists must be especially cautious. Car accident risks increase in rain, snow, fog, or when the sun causes glare. Creve Coeur roads are particularly dangerous in ice or snow, as drivers in the Metro area do not always know how to drive safely in winter weather.

The Bruning Law Firm wants its clients to focus on recovering from injuries. If you hire our team, you won't have to worry about a lawsuit or insurance claim.

Determining Who Is Responsible for Your Accident
Dangerous motorist behaviors cause a large percentage of car accidents.
However, accidents can also result from:
- Dangerous roads
- Broken traffic signals
- Downed streets signs
- Defective vehicles
- Dangerous behaviors by pedestrians and bicyclists
- Weather
You can even hold the city responsible for a car accident. Creve Coeur Police are responsible for documenting complaints about road and traffic safety. We can investigate whether a specific intersection or roadway where your accident occurred has been the target of prior complaints. You can hold the city liable for failing to ensure safe driving conditions if it has.
We will determine who is liable for your car accident in Creve Coeur.
Documenting Your Damages
We will need to prove the damages you suffered from your accident.
We may prove your damages with:
- Medical bills
- Images of your injuries
- Doctors’ records
- Bills for repairing your vehicle
- Bills for temporary transportation and other accident-related damages
- Proof that you have lost income because of your accident
For each damage you have suffered, we’ll seek clear evidence of its existence.
Finding Evidence of Negligence
Proving negligence is critical to winning a car accident case. We will seek evidence showing someone put you in harm's way.
We will seek video footage, a police report, witness accounts, and expert testimony.
Leading Settlement Negotiations
We handle every step in the legal and insurance processes, including settlement negotiations.
We will meet with liable parties or their representatives, and we will:
- Present the evidence we have collected
- Show documentation of your damages
- Explain our calculation of your damages
- Make a comprehensive case explaining why you deserve the settlement that you deserve
Liable parties may argue that you don't deserve the amount we seek. We'll make counterarguments and demand the settlement we have calculated for you.
Taking Your Case to Trial (If We Need To)
Taking your case to trial is always an option. We need to get the money you deserve, period. If that means proceeding to court, we will proceed to court.
Every step our law firm takes will be in your best interests. Even if it costs our firm more money to go to trial, we won’t hesitate if it is the right move for your case.
