Crossing the Center Line - Is it distracted driving or poor choices?

Welcome to the Lombardi Law Firm website. If you or an interested person are in a collision and you would like the crash analyzed you'll need to contact Attorney Lombardi. This may or may not result in an attorney-client relationship and simply asking for a review does not in and of itself create such a relationship. If you ask and Mr. Lombardi thinks you have a case he will say so and provide an agreement for representation that then creates an attorney-client relationship. The bottom line is that Mr. Lombardi has to agree to take you on as a client; the first step of course is asking him. You've got two ways: telephone 515-222-1110 or email sent to sdlombardi@aol.com.

Crossing the Center Line - Is it distracted driving or poor choices?

Oh my gosh, what a mess this one is. In this car accident we have the first guy going over the center line and crashing into a second car. A third car following is described as following the second car and narrowly misses crashing into the two cars by going in between them. This third car then ends up in the ditch and rolling over.

The first vehicle is an F-250 so it's going to cause a lot of damage to the second one, a 1995 Chevy Blazer SUV. The third vehicle is a Toyota HIG SW whatever that is, I don't know. This is in Jones County, east of Cedar Rapids and west of Dubuque. The fatality occurs in the second car. A 4-year-old child was fatally injured. I'd say the driver of the first vehicle has a lot of explaining to do about why the truck came across the center line. If there was a cell phone distraction that interfered with his driving punitive damages may be in order. Digital distractions are a basis for a gross negligence claim. I have to think the judges in Iowa and across the nation are getting sick and tired of having their dockets filled with car accidents caused by cell phone distracted drivers. Person's Involved: Lyle Heinrich, Rose Krapfl and Shawn O'Brien. (Also two toddlers.) This was previously covered and my analysis hasn't changed. Follow this link or do a search on my site for Krapfl.
