Seattle Personal Injury Lawyer Files Lawsuit in Tractor Trailer Accident Case

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) November 5, 2006

Seattle personal injury lawyer Charles Paglialunga has filed a personal injury lawsuit on behalf of three Washington men who sustained serious personal injuries when a semi truck allegedly ran them off the road. The lawsuit was filed in King County Superior Court under cause number No. 06-2-26596-3 KNT.

The lawsuit alleges that the semi truck that caused the accident was driven by a man named Abdirazak Ali, who was heading towards SeaTac airport when he suddenly decided not to drive into the airport. He abruptly made an illegal u-turn and in the process, the semi truck he was driving crossed the lane of travel of the car the Plaintiffs were in and nearly ran over their vehicle, dragging it off the side of the road, the lawsuit alleges. The semi truck was owned by Schneider National Carriers, a national trucking company.

According to Seattle personal injury lawyer Charles Paglialunga, the lawsuit seeks unspecified damages for personal injuries including neck injuries, head injuries, and fractured bones. Charles Paglialunga states that under Washington law, the injured plaintiffs are entitled to fair and reasonable compensation for their injuries, including an award for pain and suffering, loss of enjoyment of life, and disability.

The PH Lawfirm handles serious car accident and trucking accident cases throughout Washington State and the country. According to Mr. Paglialunga, car accident cases involving semi trucks and tractor trailers are preventable with improved national safety legislation, but the trucking industry is resisting many such changes because they will lower profits. According to Mr. Paglialunga there are proposed legislative changes that would limit the number of hours a truck driver can drive in a 24 hour period and reduce the number of trucking accident fatalities caused by tired truck drivers.

Mr. Paglialunga states that many car accidents involving tractor trailers result in serious permanent personal injuries and fatalities. When fatalities occur, a wrongful death lawsuit would be filed against the trucking company and driver on behalf of the estate of the deceased individual.
