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.

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.

Iowa Interstate Truck Accidents for June 21, 2011

Welcome to the Lombardi Law Firm website. We’ve been busy of late with preparing cases for settlement or trial; although it seems we don’t try a lot later. Today let’s discuss semi-truck accidents on I-80, I-35 and I-235 in Iowa. Most of these accidents are about distracted driving or speed and being in a hurry or just plain impatience. Ignorant drivers kill people by making stupid mistakes. Trucks are really heavy and if you combine that with speed you have a lethal combination. Now let’s discuss what happens after an accident with a family that get’s creamed by one of these trucks. First the trucking company’s insurance company comes in and by “adjusting the claim” they destroy your evidence. They settle the trucking company’s property damage claim and crush the truck. They have no obligation to take photos of the truck all smashed up and to preserve those photographs or for that matter to share them with you or your lawyer. So while you’re sitting around feeling sorry for yourself and your family they are busy destroying your hope of proving their insured driver was at fault. And that means call a lawyer right now. And if it’s me, call me today at 515-222-1110 or write to sdlombardi@aol.com. We work with lawyers all across the country.

Here are some recent examples of trucking accidents across the country.
