Does The Blind Spot Save the Driver from Being Considered Negligent?

The quick answer is not usually; driving beyond what you can see is a failure to have your vehicle under control. Drivers know where there is a blind spot and driving beyond what you can see while making a movement won’t stop a jury or judge from finding the driver is negligent.

Driver One: Brittany Roozeboom, 22 from Des Moines

Driver Two: Dennis Dittmer, 53 from Newton, Iowa.

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.
