Commentary

Very few details about this accident have been released, so it’s difficult to make any sort of call as to who would be held liable. I will say that many people look at accidents like this, see that a bicyclist was riding along this or that road, and assume they got themselves hurt or worse. However, even if they’re riding in traffic, outside of bike lanes, that doesn’t give anyone driving by carte blanche to hit them. Motorists have a legal obligation to avoid accidents whenever possible. Again, we don’t have all the details here, so figuring out who’s responsible will have to wait until all the questions have been answered.

I'm a former employee. I had brought up this exact scenario and suggested a maintenance procedure that would eliminate the possibility of this type injury. Obviously my warning went unheeded.

I was actually a couple cars back from this wreck, one of the first on the scene, and helped administer CPR on the victims. The truck driver was going way too fast, but it was actually his trailer that swung around and hit the suv, the semi-truck ended in the median.

A lot of people say smack about lawyers, but I want to say that I'm glad there is a way that people who are wronged by corporate neglect can get justice and force change. We are living in a world where corporations and govt care less than ever about common people, and I support your work. I hope I will never need your services.

Thank you for posting these accident articles on your site. At the company that I work for, e deal with monitoring construction activity and work around trenches and all sorts of construction equipment/vehicles. I sometimes wonder if construction companies have enough safety training to inform employees of how to protect themselves while on the job.
