** Update** Kentucky Car and Truck Accident Lawyer: Life-Threatening Louisville Crash Investigated For Alcohol Involvement
In an update to a previous post found here, the local media are now reporting that the 11 year-old boy hit while riding his bike by a suspected drunk driver has died. The boy has been identified as Dylan Geitgey of Louisville.
Our sympathies and condolences go out to the friends and family of Dylan. This death unfortunately adds to the increasing number of fatalities on Kentucky roadways as I have been reporting on here at kentuckyinjurylawyerblog.com.
As I posted earlier, a tragic crash like this raises many questions, such as whether there are causes other than driver error. In this case, the police suspect that alcohol may have been a factor. It is imperative that a full investigation take place to determine what factors contributed to causing this tragedy that may not readily be apparent and to preserve evidence.
Although the police are conducting an investigation to determine the cause, and they typically good job, it is often important for someone involved in this type of accident, or a family member or friend, to do their own investigation. Hiring a lawyer experienced in handling car wrecks can assure a victim of such a wreck, or the family, that their interests and rights are being protected.
A lawyer experienced in handling car and truck wrecks will know what to do to uncover any underlying causes that do not appear on the surface and may go unrecognized in other investigations. For instance, I have seen many accidents where it first was thought and reported that a seat belt was not in use, but later the facts indicate the seat belt was in use, but failed to work properly.
