Man Killed on I-65 in Kentucky Allegedly Not Wearing Seatbelt
52-year-old Charles Cheser has been pronounced dead after a wreck along Interstate 65 in Kentucky. The wreck occurred on Friday night when the vehicle being driven by Jeremy Cheser, of Jeffersonville, Ind., dropped off the edge of the roadway, lost control and overturned in the median, striking another vehicle.
An officer said Charles Chesher, 52, of Jeffersonville, was not wearing a seat belt and was ejected from Jeremy Cheser's car.
Bahe Cook Cantley & Jones car accident and wrongful death attorney Larry Jones says, "In cases in which a vehicle occupant is 'ejected' from the vehicle, it is many times concluded that the occupant was not wearing a seat belt. However, what many people don't realize, is that there are many ways to determine whether or not someone was a wearing a seat belt at the time of the wreck. The high tech way to make such a determination is to retrieve the vehicle's 'black box' --a data recorder that tells various things such as speed at the time of the wreck, whether the airbags deployed and which occupants were wearing seatbelts. Also, an autopsy can reveal signs that the occupant was belted, such as belt burns on the shoulder or neck." Jones says, "Anytime there is a car accident that causes a death, all potential claims must be examined by those with the experience and know-how to identify the various at-fault parties."
