Unfortunately, I see way too many accidents just like this one. And many of them are caused for the exact same reason: a driver just isn’t paying close enough attention to what’s going on around them. They’re on the phone or maybe messing with the radio, they take there eyes off the road and swerve into a another lane or blow through a red light or stop sign. Obviously, these drivers can and should be held accountable for that. This driver put a man in the hospital. Who’s going to cover that? Truth be told, holding thee drivers for responsible for this sort of behavior is one of the best ways to ensure they don’t repeat the same mistakes somewhere down the line.

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.
