involve only one vehicle, and the cause of the debris is not always clear. An abandoned mattress in the middle of the road is a problem, but you’ll generally have no way of knowing who put it there.
So, who is held accountable for the accident? In many cases, you will not be able to prove that someone was negligent — or prove who was negligent. That means you’ll need to seek compensation for your injuries and property damage through your own automobile insurance policy.
There are, however, exceptions to the rule. While the government entity responsible for road management is not liable for every object that falls into the road, they must maintain safe driving conditions. If negligence of this duty was involved, a lawsuit might be successful. In cases where the source of debris is known, thanks to witnesses or security cameras, the negligent party can also be held liable for negligence. Sometimes, construction crews are also to blame when they leave behind unsecured equipment or waste. If you’ve experienced a collision involving road debris, consult a personal injury attorney. An experienced attorney will help determine whether negligence was present and search for evidence of liability. Dickerson Oxton can also help you negotiate with your own insurance company for fair compensation. Give us a call today so we can evaluate your case.

RAYMORE EASTER FESTIVAL
If traditional Easter egg hunts are more your speed, head on down to Raymore for an event featuring 15,000 eggs to find! Kids in the fourth grade and younger are welcome, and there’s no fee for admission, but each participant needs to bring their own basket. The Easter Bunny will also be present for a photo opp. Find out more about the April 16 event at KCParent.com/events/ raymore-easter-festival-2022 . DOWNTOWN BUNNY HOP Are your kids a little more eccentric — and do they have energy to burn? If so, this unconventional parade may be a great fit for your family. Instead of marching, participants will hop like bunnies through downtown Lee’s Summit. Local businesses will be participating by handing out free candy, and yes, the Easter Bunny will be there. Get in on the action by visiting DowntownLS.org/event/ downtown-bunny-hop .
INGREDIENTS This recipe from TikTok user @violet.cooks almost broke the internet — and you’ll see why! The fried tortillas make it out-of-this-world delicious.
• 1 lb chicken breasts, sliced into 1-inch pieces • 2 tbsp garlic powder • 2 tbsp cumin • 2 tbsp chipotle powder
• Canola oil (for frying) • Corn tortillas • Grated cheddar cheese • Pico de gallo and guacamole salsa (to taste)
DIRECTIONS
1. In a mixing bowl, combine the chicken pieces, garlic powder, cumin, and chipotle powder. Mix until the chicken is coated. 2. In a frying pan, heat the oil. When the oil is hot, add the chicken mixture. Cook on medium heat for 5–8 minutes. 3. Remove the chicken from the pan, and add the corn tortillas (avoid overlapping) so they soak up the juices. Flip the tortillas and repeat. Then, add chicken and grated cheddar to each tortilla and fold it over the filling — in the pan. 4. Cook the tacos for 3 minutes per side until the tortillas are crispy and the cheese is melted. 5. Top with pico and guacamole salsa, and serve!
Whichever event you choose, your family is bound to have a hopping good time. Happy Easter!
