Serious car wrecks occurred all over the country this past Memorial Day weekend.

In Missouri, there were 10 fatalities related to car wrecks over the weekend. Last year, there were 15 fatalities during the same time period. Police say that about half of those killed this Memorial Day weekend in car wrecks were not wearing seat belts.

Arkansas also experienced 10 fatalities over the holiday weekend due to car wrecks.

In addition to fatal accidents, there were an accelerated number of non-fatal car wrecks that caused property damage and serious injuries.

Many of the car wrecks that occurred over the holiday weekend are still under investigation. It is possible that many of the car wrecks could have been prevented.

Car wreck attorneys are working on cases in which serious injury or fatality has resulted due to the negligence of another party.
