Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire My Nephew Was Hit By A Semi Yesterday

AB2506,

so glad your nephew is doing as well as he is.

Having watched the front bumper pass my driver's side window and then hit the left rear quarter panel of my car, I know how powerless a person feels with one of those big things bearing down.

Good luck and best wishes for a speedy and full recovery for him.

So glad to hear your nephew is going to be ok, sounds like a close call.
Prairie storms are no joke.

ED he is a good lawyer, but a real ass-hole. my old lady had him sanctioned by the state board yrs ago, for sitting on her case too long. He was a business partner with my buddy, they opened the martini bar here in town and he screwed Danial out of his half the bar.

Glad he's OK.

Thank God! That sounds unsurvivable.

Glad he is OK. A semi can do an incredible amount of damage to folks. That he is OK is a Testament to modern vehicles and the Good Lord watching over him.
I sat and watched that storm bear down on us at CFB Suffield Monday AM. Absolute whiteout conditions. Blasted through here in about 4 hours.
A good friend of mine narrowly missed being caught up in the big accident at Brooks. Said it was the worst storm and wreck he has seen in 40 years of driving a snow plow.
Was on the way to pick up his plow and start his shift.

The Hammers financial recovery or the victims physical recovery?

This. PTL.

Kind of a sad state of affairs, when the first thought is "Get my attorney"
JMHO

Woof - lucky indeed... Hope he fully heals..

Mandatory minimum insurance for a Big Rig in America is $750K. For the big companies, they have much more than that.
Your nephew needs to hit them in the pocketbook.

looks like he lucked out. He is alive, and he won the insurance lottery.

Good chance neither of these guys are licensed to practice law in Canada.

According to Moose Jaw news the wind blew the semi over causing it to collide with the car. Was a bad storm we had.

That doesn't account for the damage to the front and rear of the VW, the blown, shredded tires and note the tractor of the rear truck appears to have gone under the front truck. No doubt it appears the nephew was lucky and he was squirted out somewhat to the side of the front semi, or he would be dead. Whether or not the front semi blew over later, or not is immaterial to the survivor's first hand account compared to a junior b reporter filing their report at a later time.
