The fatally injured were: Hai Seu Moo (18), Ba Du La (20), Toh Toh (19) and Kenneth Payetta (41) from Whitby, Ontario. The semi-truck owner was Trailiner Corporation from Springfield, Missouri.

That’s enough for today, but come back tomorrow to read The Verdict blog/blawg at Lombardi Law Firm or posts on the the Iowa Edict , where I will discuss other car-truck-semi-motorcycle accidents in Iowa. And as always if you are in an accident and need legal services we encourage you to call us sooner, rather than later.

In Texas for assistance contact Beth Janicek with the Law Offices of Beth Janicek or Jeffrey Rasanksy with the Rasanky Law Firm in Dallas. In Minnesota we recommend you call upon Mike Bryant with Bradshaw and Bryant for legal advice. In Oklahoma Noble McIntyre and Jeremy Thurman of Oklahoma-Law.com of serves those with I-35 collision or accident questions. And in Iowa call myself, Steve Lombardi, with the Lombardi Law Firm.

Interstate 35 is a part of the United States Interstate Highway system running north-south from Duluth, Minnesota (at an intersection known as the Can of Worms) to Laredo, Texas. Its length is 1568.38 miles (2,524.06 km).

The law firms mentioned in this article work in cooperation to assist injured clients who have accidents in one state, but live in another state. This arrangement allows the client to get better service with no additional cost. Please call us sooner rather than later, because accidents on I-35 tend to be complicated by distance, speeds and semi-truck drivers being from far away places.
