Out-of-State Auto Accident Pose Difficulties for the Injured

Posted on Aug 08, 2010

Van Buren County, Iowa. July 26, 2010 - In this collision we have two-vehicles, a car from Arkansas and an f-150 pickup truck from Iowa. The report has the two traveling in opposite directions and meeting at a 90-degree turn on V-64 where it meets 275^th Street. The report indicates the woman from Lowell, Arkansas didn't stay in her lane at the curve. Instead she crossed the center line, and into the path of the pickup truck driver, Mr. Keith High. Mr. High trying to avoid the collision turned left of center attempting to avoid the crash and then struck the car in the passenger side. That car was operated by Pamela Hutchison and she was charged with operating her car left of center. Interesting enough, High wasn't injured, Hutchison had a possible injury, but three passengers in the Hutchison Buick were injured, one serious enough to cause fatal injuries. According to the police report she was seated in the rear seat on the passenger side. She was a 70-year-old woman. By the way the collision occurred the other person seated in the rear seat may have been thrown into her. It's hard to say. But what we can learn from this accident is the need to wear your seatbelt even when sitting in the back seat. The at-fault driver would of course by covered by her insurance company for damages to her own passengers.

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.
