18-Wheeler Accident/Wrongful Death

Two young women were driving home from work together along a rural highway. It was rainy, and ahead of them, a massive tractor-trailer was approaching from the opposite direction. But that tractor-trailer was traveling near its maximum speed despite the bad weather, and when it suddenly hydroplaned, it crossed into oncoming traffic without warning. The resulting collision obliterated the young women’s SUV, killing them both instantly. The devoted husbands and school-age children they both left behind now share this terrible tragedy in common, but each survivor must now personally grapple with their own unimaginable loss.
