Located on the Mississippi River near the border of Illinois, Muscatine began as a trading post along the river and quickly became a bustling port city.
Muscatine is rich in history and natural beauty. In 2019 the population numbered 23,631, and it is home to several major companies including the HNI Corporation, which designs and manufactures office furniture, and the Kent Nutrition Group, which produces animal feed.
The city is easily accessible via Interstate 80, US Highway 61, and several state routes. Situated as it is between Iowa City and the Quad Cities, Muscatine sees a lot of traffic from commuters in professional fields. As such, it is not immune to injuries from accidents and negligence.
Since 2005, most of the car accidents in Muscatine were not fatal; however, there was a marked increase in the number of fatal accidents in 2019. Muscatine also has a large number of fatal accidents involving pedestrians – much higher than the Iowa average.
Muscatine residents were also injured from trucking accidents, workplace accidents, slip and fall accidents, and faulty products.
