Kentucky Car And Truck Accident Attorney: Head-on Crash Results In Death And Injuries
Another, in what seems to be an increase of deadly car, truck and motorcycle wrecks here in the Louisville, Kentucky area recently, has occurred. Steven Mathews was killed due to multiple blunt force injuries when the Pontiac Grand Am he was driving crossed the center line and struck a Kia Sportage according to police.
The Sportage flipped and landed upside down from the impact. The driver and passenger were injured and taken to the hospital. Police said Mathews was not wearing a seatbelt and the Kia occupants were.
Our sympathies and condolences go out to the friends and family of the deceased. This death unfortunately adds to the increasing number of fatalities on Kentucky roadways as I have been reporting on here at kentuckyinjurylawyerblog.com.
A crash like this raises many questions, such as whether there are causes other than driver error. It is imperative that a full investigation take place to determine if there were any factors at play causing this tragedy that are not readily 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 surviving 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.
