Why Truck Accidents Are Different
Big Truck. Big Policy. Big Settlement.
Federal law requires commercial semis to carry $750K–$5M in liability insurance — 10× more than a passenger car. That money exists to pay victims. Let us help you claim it.
Serving Dexter Accident Victims
Dexter sits at the crossroads of US-60 and US-67 — one of the most heavily traveled truck corridors in Southeast Missouri. US-60 carries freight east toward Sikeston and the I-55 corridor, while US-67 runs north-south through the heart of Stoddard County. Commercial truck traffic is constant on both routes, and accidents involving semis are a regular occurrence in and around Dexter.
As the county seat of Stoddard County, Dexter also sees significant local traffic from County Road 500, County Road 600, and the network of farm-to-market roads that connect rural properties to the highway system. Grain trucks, fertilizer applicators, and agricultural equipment share these roads with passenger vehicles daily — creating collision risks that urban drivers never encounter.
Mark Taran personally reviews every accident case from Dexter and Stoddard County. You speak with the attorney directly — not a call center or intake specialist. Your initial consultation is completely free, and you never pay a dime unless he recovers money for you.
Missouri law gives you 5 years from the date of your accident to file (RSMo § 516.120), but evidence disappears fast. Dashcam footage is overwritten within days, trucking companies begin building their defense immediately, and witness memories fade. If you've been hurt near Dexter, don't wait — call (573) 227-8841 today.
Truck accident cases in Missouri often involve $1 million or more in mandatory liability coverage. The insurance company will have a team of adjusters and lawyers working against you from day one. You need someone who understands the roads, the local courts, and the freight industry — and who will fight for every dollar you're owed.

Common Questions from Dexter Residents
How long do I have to file a claim in Missouri?
Missouri's statute of limitations is 5 years from the date of your accident (RSMo § 516.120). Don't wait — evidence disappears fast.
Do I need to come to Kennett for a consultation?
No. We handle everything by phone and email for clients throughout Southeast Missouri, including Dexter and Stoddard County. You won't need to travel until (and unless) your case goes to court.
What if the accident was partly my fault?
Missouri uses pure comparative fault — you can still recover compensation even if you were partially responsible. Your recovery is reduced by your share of fault, but you do not lose everything.
How much does it cost?
Nothing upfront. We work on a contingency fee — you pay only if we recover money for you. Free consultation, no surprises.
