It was reported that police arrived at the scene of a car accident at roughly 6:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 5, 2012.

 

The accident occurred on Union Street in Leominster where the driver was found outside his rolled-over vehicle. He was immediately taken to the University of Massachusetts Medical Center with serious injuries, where he later was pronounced dead. The street was closed for several hours during the accident reconstruction.

Truck and car crashes unfortunately are a fact of life. Although we hope of course that we and our loved ones will not be involved in any incidents on the roads, it is important to understand your rights should such an accident occur. The first step is knowing whether or not you even have grounds to file a claim for your injuries. The question of whether the accused party was indeed negligent must be examined carefully before filing a claim. The facts of each individual case can be quite complex, requiring sifting through accident reconstructions, police reports, and insurance policies, among other inquiries. The accident scene should be investigated, coordinated (when necessary) with a proper team of professionals and experts, examining all evidence.
