Driver Safety: Yielding as you enter the Interstate Highway system, Driver Parsons killed

Posted on Apr 14, 2009

Garrett Chitty, 17, tried entering I-35 southbound where little room existed, stuck another truck being driven by Lewis Thomas of Cleveland, Ohio. Thomas’ truck moved over to the east striking a utility truck driven by Gary Parsons, 51 or Deposit, N.Y. Unfortunately for Parsons his truck turned on its side onto the guardrail and he was killed.

Parson’s and Thomas are entitled under Iowa law to workers’ compensation benefits. If Thomas has dependents, a wife or children, they too will be entitled to receive benefits. The wife can receive lifetime workers’ compensation benefits or the children benefits so long as they are receiving an undergraduate education. Lombardi Law Firm handles these types of cases. The wife can get these benefits commuted to a lump sum.

In addition each are entitled to pursue a claim against the other driver, Chitty for improperly attempting to enter the highway.
