Coroner: Charles Scott Glatzer Dies After Gaffney Truck Hit on I-85

SEMI-TRUCK CRASH INVESTIGATION

Sideswipe accidents involving tractor-trailers account for a high rate of fatalities in the U.S.

According to the National Safety Council, almost 25 percent of fatal large truck accidents involve side impacts. Meanwhile, at least 70% of fatalities in large-truck crashes are occupants of the smaller passenger vehicles involved.

Candice Bond, an experienced tractor-trailer accident attorney, noted that investigations into semi-truck crashes require a wide range of resources.

“Tractor-trailer crashes are often complex, and many factors can play a role in these types of accidents,” said Bond, Managing Partner of Bond Legal and a national analyst with Accident Injury News. “A skilled attorney can protect a grieving family from trucking companies, which often send their own investigators to crash sites and possess considerable resources they can utilize to defend a negligent truck driver. A lawyer can advocate for you by hiring expert witnesses, conducting driver background checks, locating witnesses to the crash, and reviewing applicable insurance coverage, all while carefully guiding a grieving family through the legal process.”

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM

The family members of Charles Scott Glatzer may be entitled to pursue a wrongful death claim. Surviving loved ones of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain, suffering, and emotional distress in the wake of a tragic or catastrophic accident.

Relatives of wrongful death victims are entitled to seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident.”
