Warren Co., MS (November 29, 2023) – A man from Vicksburg, Mississippi, lost his life as a result of a truck accident that occurred on Tuesday morning in Warren County. The crash was reported by the Mississippi Highway Patrol at around 6:00 a.m. on November 28.
According to official reports from highway patrol, a 2022 Ford F-150 pickup truck and a 2015 Peterbilt collided on Highway 3 in the area near the International Paper Company in Warrant County. The incident prompted authorities to shut down the roadway while providing assistance. The driver of the Ford sustained fatal injuries in the crash. Authorities declared the victim deceased while on-site. At this time, the circumstances surrounding the crash are being investigated.
We offer our sympathies to the family of the man killed in this crash.
Every year, truck accidents leave victims with devastating injuries that affect their lives forever. Due to the size of these massive vehicles, it is common to see victims left with spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and other life-changing injuries. After a truck crash, you have the opportunity to file a claim for compensation against the responsible party. Unlike other types of accidents, there are several parties who can be held liable. These include:
Trucking companies: trucking companies are required to hire drivers who are properly trained and legally able to operate the vehicles. When they do not hire or supervise workers correctly, they can be held liable for any accidents that take place.
Truck manufacturers: commercial vehicles are a combination of tens of thousands of moving parts. If one part does not function correctly, it can have catastrophic consequences. If the failure occurred as a result of negligence on behalf of the truck manufacturer, they can be held liable for all of the damages resulting from the crash.
Parts manufacturers: when parts are not properly manufactured, and they fail while operating the vehicle, it can lead to a serious accident. In these cases, those who are responsible for the manufacturing process of the parts can be held liable.
Following a truck crash, you will need to have a thorough investigation performed to determine who is responsible for the damages you have suffered. A truck accident lawyer will be able to help you pursue a claim for compensation following your crash.
