Driving distracted kills driver and injures passengers

On October 4^th 2009 James Godwin of Jefferson, Iowa failed to stop, running the stop sign and straight into the car driven by Bart Baugh of Churdan. Mr. Godwin was pronounced dead at the scene and all four people in the Baugh car; Bart Baugh, Trevor Baugh, Taryn Baugh, and Torey Baugh, were injured and taken by ambulance to the hospital. This accident occurred in Greene County, Iowa at the intersection of Highway 4 and Highway E26.

There are hundreds of mva's just like this one that occur every week in Iowa. I see no days when there aren't any accidents that cause injuries and deaths. What was the distraction? Why didn’t the car stop and yield the right of way? You can’t complain about the number of lawsuits being filed when distracted drivers cause so many injuries and deaths. And don't blame the lawyers. If you do it’s the same as blaming doctors for cancer. Blaming the legal profession is a foolish and naive point-of-view. And it's one that allows the responsible party to avoid being responsible.

When you drive pay attention to your driving. Put the cell phones away. Stop looking at whatever digital device is the latest craze. Simply put, drive.

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.
