Our sympathies and condolences go out to the friends and family of the deceased. This person's death unfortunately adds to the increasing number of fatalities on Kentucky roadways.
A wreck like this one raises the question of why and how the SUV collided with the rear of a parked semi. Although the police are conducting an investigation to determine the cause, it is often important for someone involved in this type of accident to do their own investigation. Also, it is not uncommon for a trucking company or its insurance carrier to come to the scene of an wreck like this one to conduct their own investigation.
Hiring a lawyer experienced in handling car and truck wrecks can assure a victim of such a wreck that their interests and rights are being protected. An experienced lawyer will know what to do in conducting an investigation to preserve evidence and determine the cause including uncovering any underlying factors at play that are not readily apparent.
