Gilreath & Associates File Complaint for Injuries and Wrongful Death in Truck AccidentTennessee attorney Sid Gilreath pursuing damages in U.S. District Court on behalf of victims of horrendous truck accident
Horan Morales, along with Omar Bautista and Elizebhet Bautista, were traveling north on the highway when a large semi-truck owned by Fleetwood suddenly changed lanes without warning and forced Morales’ vehicle into a bridge pylon. Upon impact, the vehicle was thrown back into traffic and became entangled with the trailer on the Fleetwood truck. After being dislodged, the plaintiffs’ vehicle was struck by a large truck owned by Childers. Both Horan Morales and Elizebhet Bautista died at the scene, while Omar Bautista suffered severe injuries. “This case is so tragic because it was so preventable,” According to Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR), trucking companies have several responsibilities in ensuring their equipment and employees are safe. The complaint alleges the two firms were grossly negligent in the hiring, training and supervising of their drivers, as well as ensuring they understood regulations set forth in the FMCSR. “We’ve seen too many cases like this where the driver(s) were fatigued or distracted. Incidents like this are so preventable if the companies in question would simply exercise due diligence.,” The case is currently on file with the United States District Court for eastern Tennessee. Plaintiffs are seeking economic, non-economic and exemplary damages for both injuries and wrongful death.
