Lyon County Cow Causes Fatality of Cycle Rider

Lyon County, Iowa. July 30, 2010 - This accident has my interest because we have a similar case from Creston, Iowa. In our case a dark colored cow was standing in the roadway when my clients came along and struck it. The wife, a passenger, died. No farmer in that county is claiming ownership of the cow although it matters not because we determined through our investigation who he is. So in this case where Theodore Smith, from George, Iowa is driving his motorcycle down L-14 or L-22 and strikes a cow standing in the roadway just north of 260^th Street I'm curious as to whether the cow's owner stepped forward to claim ownership. I used both L-14 and L-22 because the police report isn't clear which roadway he was on. The collision took place at 11:32 p.m. and killed the motorcycle rider. Location is more specifically described as: A052 / 260 and L022 / LILY. I've probably answered my own question. A closer reading of the report indicates the name of the cow's owner. He's from Sheldon, Iowa.

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.
