Commentary:

In my line of work, I field so many questions about passengers’ rights in single vehicle accidents. Now, because passengers are almost always familiar acquaintances with the driver of the car, things can get a little sensitive so I think it’s best to take a step back and look at the accident in a clinical, legal fashion. Outside of reaching over the center console and grabbing the wheel, passengers rarely have any input or control over the vehicle they are in. On top of that, when a driver elects to take a passenger in their vehicle, they enter into an unspoken contract that essentially says “I will drive in a lawful and safe manner as to not harm my passengers”. If drivers are speeding, reckless, or break a law that results in an accident, then the driver will more than likely be faulted, and held responsible

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.
