I had a story last week similar to this one but in Minnesota. In this one the semi-truck driver was killed when his rig fell off a bridge and into Mirror Lake. The passenger was also killed. This is a loss of control case and frankly weather won’t rescue most drivers from being found at fault, because the driver decides to keep going, how fast to drive and is responsible for keeping a safe lookout for others and for the passengers. While many are a tragedy fault and negligence aren’t excused because of bad weather.

If you or an interested person are in a collision and you would like the crash analyzed you'll need to contact Attorney Lombardi. This may or may not result in an attorney-client relationship and simply asking for a review does not in and of itself create such a relationship. If you ask and Mr. Lombardi thinks you have a case he will say so and provide an agreement for representation that then creates an attorney-client relationship. 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.
