RUN OVER BY GARBAGE TRUCK – FATAL INJURY LAWYERS

Our truck accident lawyers represent people hit by a garbage truck while walking on the street. In fact, we have had a suprising number of garbage truck cases. Usually, the truck backs into someone. However, sometimes the garbage truck will sideswipe a person walking or even run them over. Unfortunately, when a garbage truck hits a pedestrian, the person will be seriously injured or killed.

When a garbage truck hits and kills a pedestrian, multiple law enforcement agencies will respond. First, will be the local police and county sheriff. In addition, the Minnesota State Patrol conducts an accident reconstruction to determine if the garbage truck driver or the pedestrian was at fault.

Usually, the State Patrol will examine the garbage truck to make sure it was fully functional and compliant with all regulations. This is part of the protocol with commercial vehicles. The reason, of course, is that commercial vehicles cause more serious damage because of their size and weight. In addition, they often cut corners to focus on profit. Then, the investigators will try to determine if there was any reason the truck driver couldn’t see the person on the street. For example, they will conduct field of vision tests.
