TRUCK HEAD ON CRASH FATALITY – CAR ACCIDENT LAWYER

The Rochlin Law Firm handles head on truck crash cases. We recently read a report of a 16-year-old boy killed while driving to school. A semi truck crossed over the center-line on an Otter Tail County road and struck his car in a head-on crash. The truck car crash happened in foggy conditions about 6 a.m. on Highway 210 near Vining. The semi truck was heading west and struck the car that was traveling east, according to a state patrol report. This is a tragic case. However, an experienced MN car accident lawyer can play an important part in making sure that justice is done.

The 16-year-old driving the car was killed when the semi hit the car, the patrol said. He was the only occupant in the vehicle. The truck driver’s injuries aren’t considered life-threatening. The front end of the truck was badly damaged. A car accident attorney will work with the student’s family to deal with the insurance company for the semi and protect their rights.

It’s not known at this time if either driver was distracted or if both vehicles had their headlights on. In Henning, where the school has a K-12 enrollment of about 400, the news was crushing for fellow students. The crash is still under investigation.

In a car accident case like this with a truck, a MN lawyer from our office will help with the investigation. We will hire our own investigator if necessary to interview witnesses and try to get to the bottom of what happened.

INVESTIGATION AND COMPENSATION FOR TRUCK ACCIDENT

The State Patrol should also do a complete investigation of this truck accident with a car. They are required to investigate crashes involving commercial vehicles. But oftentimes, an experienced lawyer can get additional information. We will bring in other experts to get a more complete explanation for an accident between a truck and a car.
