The Sun reports that during the early morning hours of Tuesday, June 14, 2022, 62-year-old Joseph Vesely was driving a 1997 Silverado when he was struck by a 2021 Freightliner truck in Jonesboro, AR. The tractor-trailer ran a red light at Kathleen Street and Prospect Road, driving Vesley’s truck into three different vehicles. Tragically, Mr. Vesely succumbed to his injuries.

Legal contributor Attorney Brian Mickelsen, an experienced truck accident lawyer, represents victims injured or killed in semi-truck accidents. Below, Attorney Mickelsen shared his insight into the legal options available to victims injured in commercial truck accidents.
“Based on the news articles, this is a clear-cut liability case. A semi-truck ran a stop sign (or red light) and collided with Vesely’s vehicle, causing his death. This investigation, however, does not stop here. Questions remain why the driver of the tractor-trailer ran the stop sign. Did he fall asleep? Was he under the influence of alcohol or drugs? Was he distracted by his phone or an other device? There are a variety of factors that drive up the value of the case.”
