Scene of the Accident

Commentary:

A lot of people are going to try to dump this whole accident into the lap of the driver, but one fact reported in the news makes me wonder if the accident would have been survivable had it not been for a single factor. The fact that the helmet came off in the accident could mean a few things. It could mean that the helmet was not properly affixed to the victim, it could mean that the helmet did not fit properly to begin with, but it could also mean that the helmet was not properly constructed to withstand an accident. I’ve seen accidents with motorcycles at extremely high speeds, both in races on television, and in police reports, and something with this accident just doesn’t add up. A quick look at the helmet could tell us quite a bit more. Again, I could be wrong, but lets try and wait for the results of the investigation before we pin an accident on somebody just because they were on two wheels and not four.

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.
