Commentary

I wish the news was giving us a little more information about what happened here than they are. Was one of the vehicles involved speeding? The accident happened pretty early in the morning. How long had the driver of the truck been on the road when the crash happened? Any time a commercial vehicle is involved in an accident, having an independently-run investigation looking into the matter is going to be a good idea. Two things to keep in mind are that police investigations can be very cursory. Aside from that, trucking companies often have their own people looking into these accidents, and you can be sure that they don’t have your best interests in mind. After an accident like this, evidence is going to be incredibly important. An independent investigation is going to be an incredible resource in collecting that evidence, and telling a victim how to use it.

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.
