Fatal Accident after Crossing the Center Line

The driver of a vehicle heading north on Highway 38 was killed when he crossed the center line and collided head-on with a semi-truck. The driver crossing the center line was 38-year-old Carey Gillette of Reynolds; the semi-truck operator was Gary Anderson of Aledo, Illinois. The time of the collision was 2:40 p.m., Thursday, April 15, 2010. Assuming the facts are accurate the liability claim for Anderson survives the crash and the death of the at-fault driver. He might also have a workers' compensation claim. Workers' compensation injuries giving rise to legitimate claims take many forms. They include physical and mental injuries or varying kinds. One type of mental claim that I've seen over the past 30 years is referred to as post traumatic stress disorder. PTSD. Nightmares where the participant relives the events cause a loss of sleep, weight loss, worry, depression, denial and avoidance. This is a real condition needing treatment to correct. If you suffer from PTSD see a psychologist, psychiatrist or tell you family doctor and seek appropriate treatment. Your life doesn't have to be a continuing nightmare.
