Dump Truck Accident Settlement
A lawsuit involving a dump truck accident that killed two people has settled for $900,000. The dump truck driver had run a red light and crashed into the station wagon occupied by two men who suffered fatal injuries. The truck driver had plead guilty to careless driving and involuntary manslaughter for the accident. The two men who died were both retired.
This accident shows just how deadly a driving mistake can be when a truck driver is not paying attention. With the use of cell phones, text messaging, and eating in vehicles as a regular occurrence nowadays, the number of these types of truck accidents seems to be reported all too frequently. When a large truck, like a dump truck, is involved in an accident with a passenger vehicle, the likelihood of there being a catastrophic injury is signficant.
