Legal Standard for Duty of Care: DID YOU KNOW?

When operating a vehicle in Missouri, drivers are required to exercise the highest degree of care. They must (a) Pay proper attention, (b) keep a careful lookout, (c) properly control their vehicle at all times, (d) stop or take proper evasive action when they know or in the exercise of the highest degree of care should have known that their failure to do so would result in injuries to others. The exercise of the highest duty of care requires a driver to not only keep a constant and vigilant lookout, it also requires a driver to take all reasonable steps necessary to avoid harming another motorist and their passengers who are properly on the roadways of Missouri.
