Serving Columbia Accident Victims
Columbia sits directly on I-70, the transcontinental interstate that carries massive volumes of commercial truck traffic across Missouri. Combined with US-63 running north-south, Columbia's roadways see constant 18-wheeler and semi-truck activity — and the accidents that come with it.
As Missouri's fifth-largest city and home to the University of Missouri, Columbia has a unique mix of heavy commercial traffic, university-related travel, and residential driving. When large commercial vehicles are involved in accidents, injuries are often catastrophic: traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord damage, multiple fractures, and wrongful death.
Mark Taran personally reviews every truck and car accident case from the Columbia area. You speak with the attorney directly — not a call center or paralegal. Your initial consultation is completely free.
Missouri law gives you 5 years from the date of your accident to file (RSMo § 516.120), but evidence disappears fast. Electronic logging device data has limited retention, trucking companies begin building their defense immediately.
Truck accident cases in Missouri often involve $1 million or more in mandatory liability coverage. Call (573) 227-8841 today.

Common Questions from Columbia 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 Central Missouri, including Columbia. 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.
