Harrowing Truck Accident Produces Only Minor Injuries

The semi trucks and tractor trailers that one sees driving in and around Shepherdsville may inspire feelings of trepidation in other drivers on the road around them.

This is likely due to both their massive size and the loads that they carry.

People may hear stories of trucks losing their cargo all across the road and causing a hazard for other vehicles, which may prompt them to keep a safe distance away when they see these rigs on the road.

One can only imagine how much more fear may be inspired by people seeing not a truck’s load falling onto the road, but rather the truck itself.

Semi-truck strikes two cars and falls off of Michigan commuter bridge

Yet that’s just what motorists in Michigan witnessed when a semi truck fell off a commuter bridge.

According to reports, the truck struck two other vehicles that were also crossing the bridge, which then pushed it over the side. The driver of the truck claimed he lost control of the vehicle after he encountered what he thought to be patch of ice.

Law enforcement officers, however, state that the temperature at the time of the accident would not have produced ice. An investigation into the accident is still ongoing.

Miraculously, those involved in the collision only sustained minor injuries.

However, similar collisions often produce catastrophic results.

Commercial truck accidents can leave those involved with serious and long lasting injuries

Those fortunate enough to survive such accidents may be left with injury and rehabilitation expenses that go far beyond what insurance may be willing to pay.

In such cases, these people may be left with little choice but to pursue compensation from the trucker involved as well as his or her employer (if the situation dictates it).

Securing such compensation may be much easier if one has the assistance of an experienced attorney to rely on.

Our family attempted to work with other lawyers for our daughter’s disability benefits application and appeals process before finding Ms.Burke. Ms. Burke is, by far, the best lawyer I have ever done business with. She approached our case with genuine caring and thoroughness. We would not have been awarded disability benefits for our daughter without the untiring, unwavering work of Ms Burke. She supported us through her expertise of the law and Social Security requirements. She bolstered us emotionally as needed. She always returned phone calls, emails, and texts in a timely manner. I have already recommended her to other people and will continue to do so. She is the best!
