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 Malden Accident Victims
Malden sits in northern Dunklin County along Highway 25, one of the primary north-south corridors connecting the Missouri Bootheel's agricultural communities to the rest of the state. The region is defined by large-scale farming operations — rice, soybeans, and cotton — and the heavy equipment and grain trucks that service them run daily on rural roads shared with passenger vehicles.
Just south of Malden, the former Malden Air Force Base (now Malden Regional Airport) occupies a large footprint, and Route J provides an additional east-west connection through the county. Commercial truck traffic through the area is significant, moving agricultural products from the Bootheel toward processing facilities and markets throughout the region.
Mark Taran personally reviews every accident case from Malden and Dunklin 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 Malden, don't wait — call (573) 227-8841 today.
Truck and commercial vehicle accident cases in Missouri can involve substantial liability coverage. Insurance companies have teams of adjusters and lawyers working to minimize your claim from the moment they learn of your accident. You need someone who understands the roads, the local courts, and the agricultural freight industry — and who will fight for every dollar you're owed.

Common Questions from Malden 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 Malden and Dunklin 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.
