As a St. Louis Car Accident Attorney, I have met many people affected by the negligence of another driver. I understand how tough it can be to lose a loved one or suffer from injuries that threaten the quality of life of the injured, which is why I was sad to read that drivers and passengers were injured in a crash in St. Louis that also claimed the life of an 11-month old infant.

On October 8, 2010 at 3:50 p.m. Edin Demirovic, his wife Emira Demirovic, and their 11-month old son Hasib Demirovic were driving North on Interstate 270 in their Toyota Corolla. Demirovic tried to change lanes when he drove into the path of Dale Merz. The Toyota Corolla struck Wilson's vehicle and then collided with a Chevrolet Silverado driven by Merz.

Edin Demirovic, Emira Demirovic, and Hasib Demirovic were taken to St. John's Mercy Medical Center in St. Louis with serious injuries.  Mr. and Mrs. Demirovic were treated, but their 11-month old son died as a result of his injuries at the hospital. Darryl Wilson was also treated for injuries, and Dale Merz was not injured in the accident.

Everyone involved in the accident was wearing a seat belt and 11-month old Demirovic was properly secured in his child safety seat. My heart goes out to the Demirovic family for the loss of their child and to Mr. Wilson for his injuries that he received from the car accident. As a St. Louis car accident lawyer, I understand how confusing it can be after an injury is sustained in a car accident. Most people do not know what their rights are after an accident, but the next step after an accident is to speak to a personal injury attorney.
