Tractor trailer sideswipes stop-sign running vehicle

Two days ago, a road had to be closed in Sanborn, New York, just to the north of Buffalo, as a result of a fatal motor vehicle accident. A 71-year-old man was killed in the wreck that occurred just before 3 p.m. The 71-year-old’s vehicle was struck from the side by a tractor trailer due to the smaller vehicle running a stop sign. The smaller vehicle spun off and landed in a ditch. The authorities that arrived declared the 71-year-old dead at the scene.

This is a sad story, but unfortunately not an uncommon one. Tens of thousands of people die from fatal motor vehicle accidents every year. We need to do more to keep people safe out on the roads; and we as drivers need to always be paying attention out there, because distracted driving has become a terrible curse on the driving community.

Fatal car accidents leave an indescribable hole in the lives of many families. It is massive cavern, one that can’t be filled, and for the families of the victims they are left wondering “what are we supposed to do now?” In some cases, it is imperative that the victim’s family consult with an attorney.

There will be funeral services, insurance issues, financial considerations and legal ramifications all related to the car accident that claimed your loved one. And you should not deal with these factors without experienced legal help by your side.
