Accidents like this can get tricky, especially when a large amount of people have been injured, and the person responsible for the accident doesn’t have that big of an insurance policy. Anyone who’s ever been seriously injured in an accident like this knows that, when it comes to medical bills, money doesn’t last very long. And when multiple people have been injured in the accident, those hurt all want to make sure that their injuries are covered. This creates a bit of a mad dash to the courthouse, with everyone involved in the accident trying to be first in line. Unfortunately, there’s no trick that will turn a small insurance policy into a large one. This is why people involved in these situations need to do their part and become educated on how the process works. Because when these things happen, they have to be taken care of as soon as possible.

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.
