Wrongful Death Suit Filed in Fatal Cyclist Accident
A wrongful death lawsuit has been filed in Maryland against a truck driver and his employer after the driver accidentally hit and killed a bicyclist last year. John Yates became caught in the rear wheels of the truck as it made a right turn. The lawsuit claims that the driver was negligent because he failed to signal for the turn and did not look to see if “it was clear and free of traffic – cyclists or pedestrians.” The lawsuit is seeking $5 million in damages.
