Ohio Semi Accident Kills Two and Injures Two Children

In Waterville Township, Ohio, a semi ran a stop sign, causing a three-vehicle accident that resulted in two deaths. 

When the semi ran the stop sign, an SUV driven by a father taking his children to school crashed into the semi.  The semi then crashed into a pickup truck that was stopped at the intersection of Neapolis-Waterville and Berkey-Southern. 

The driver of the SUV, Richard Seel, died at the scene.  The driver of the pickup, Michael Ackerman, died two weeks after the accident.  Mr. Seel’s children were hospitalized.

A number of lawsuits will arise out of this tragic accident.  The families of the two men who died have grounds for wrongful death lawsuits, and the children have grounds for lawsuits seeking compensation for medical expenses, pain and suffering and other damages. 

When there is a semi truck accident, it is important to hire a truck accident lawyer as soon as possible.  When our law firm is retained to represent victims of truck accidents, we immediately take measures to gather and preserve evidence, determine what parties are liable, find the best expert witnesses in technical and medical fields and protect our client’s legal rights.

Shortly after a semi truck accident, insurance companies and trucking company representatives contact families of victims.  It is imperative for the families to contact their insurance companies to report the accident, BUT NO ONE SHOULD TALK WITH ANYONE FROM ANY OTHER INSURANCE COMPANY OR A TRUCKING COMPANY.  ALSO, DO NOT SIGN ANYTHING.  Read more about what to do after a semi truck accident and contact a lawyer as soon as possible.
