Thoughts on Semitruck Accidents

We cannot draw any conclusions regarding this accident with so few details. What we can say is the family deserves answers to what caused their loved one to lose their life. If any wrongdoing occurred, the parties responsible need to be held accountable.

Did someone fail to yield? Was someone speeding? Distracted? Did the van provide sufficient protection to its occupants? Vans are very dangerous in rollover accidents because the roof may crush occupants or the seatbelts may fail, resulting in injuries that otherwise would not have been suffered.

A detailed investigation will uncover the information needed to fully understand what happened here and provide the family and those injured with the answers they deserve.
