Major Collisions
If a collision is major, someone involved may face a serious injury. A personal injury lawyer Phoenix, at times is involved in such accidents.
The following is an example of such an accident:
While coming home from a church meeting early one Saturday night, and while traveling on an interstate highway, the car they were riding in was hit by a pickup truck which came from behind at a rapid rate of speed. The driver's side of the small compact car was destroyed when the truck actually went over the top of the compact car killing the passenger and driver on the driver's side of the vehicle. The passenger on the passenger side and the other child in the rear were seriously injured. The child later had to have her arm amputated due to extensive damage. The driver of the truck was found to be severally impaired by drugs and alcohol and was way above any legal blood alcohol legal limit. The driver of the truck had insurance. The driver of the truck was later convicted criminally of drunk driving in the extreme and vehicular manslaughter and is serving a ten year sentence in state prison.
The surviving family had a large claim based on the negligence of the truck driver.
