The first appears to be a failure to yield the right of way or to stop at a stop sign; can't really tell from the preliminary report. Either way you are supposed to first stop and then yield to oncoming traffic; fail to do either and accidents happen. A 27-year-old man from Colesburg, Iowa was pronounced dead at the accident scene after his car was broadsided by a car travelling on Highway 20 in the Dyersville area of Iowa. From the report Mr. Greenwood was on Seventh Street, west of Dyersville and crossing U.S. Highway 20 when his car was broadsided by a car being driven by Nancy Appleton, 51 from Greeley, Iowa.

Large Damage, Major-Serious Injury and Death Cases

When the negligent or at-fault driver dies will their insurance still pay for the other driver’s injuries?

Can a child be sued when he shoots another hunter? 

Do I have to cover someone's medical bills if I accidentally caused an injury? The guys hand was broke now we have to pay for the surgery and everything else. I offered that day to take him to get his hand x-rayed. He declined and then two days later took himself to the ER and found out it was broken then had to have surgery to put pins in it. I offered to help pay and have paid him $300 so far. Now his next bill he wants me to pay is $1030 and that doesn't included surgery bills yet. He said he will sue me if I don't pay all of his bills. When is enough enough?
