Minivan rear-ended by 18-wheeler, 3-year-old Sean Thornton Killed
One family's holiday vacation was cut short on Sunday, when an 18-wheeler struck their minivan from behind, killing 3-year-old Sean Thornton. Witnesses say they big rig driver, 50-year-old Willie Hill, was speeding when the accident happened. The minivan was pushed off the highway as the two vehicles became entangled, plowed through some trees, and ended up in a swamp. The driver, Susan Thornton is hospitalized in critical condition, while the boy's father and 2 siblings received non-life-threatening injuries. Police say Willie Hill will likely face criminal charges.
If a loved one has been killed in an auto accident, due to the negligence of another party, one of the smartest things you can do is to talk to a wrongful death attorney. You will undoubtedly have many expenses piling up very quick after an event like this, and insurance companies use this as leverage to pay you the smallest amount they can. An experienced wrongful death attorney will fight on your side to get you the compensation you rightfully deserve.
