The DiCello Law Firm: Weather Is Not An Excuse For Truck Crashes

MENTOR, Ohio, March 13, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Mark DiCello, a leading truck crash lawyer, represents victims of truck crashes around the country including truck drivers injured by other truck drivers.  He is frustrated to see another massive interstate truck and car crash that claimed several lives on I 80 near Toledo, Ohio, during the latest winter storm to hit the region.  Sadly, three people were killed and a state trooper seriously injured in a pileup of about 50 cars and trucks yesterday afternoon.  Weather has been cited as a possible cause of the crash. 

Several years ago, Mr. DiCello handled one of the largest truck crash cases in recent memory that involved 42 cars and trucks, killed 6 and injured many more along I 80.  That tragedy was also initially blamed on a snow storm.  It also occurred on I 80 but in Pennsylvania near Penn State University. The facts of that crash are eerily similar to the facts of this tragic event.  

Motivated by that experience, Mark DiCello became a strong advocate against claiming weather as an excuse for a crash. Trucks, and the companies that operate them, have the latest technology and knowledge of the strict federal guidelines that, if followed, would largely prevent these tragic occurrences. 

Mark DiCello is a recognized national lecturer on various topics involving truck safety and consumer safety issues.
