I know the title is a fairly broad subject, and could be covered in nearly every aspect of life.

On August 18th, 2003, my son Charles was involved in a serious accident involving a tractor trailer.

While this may seem too late to write about, it's surprising to me how the legal system and those that partcipate, seem to think.

From what I've been told, the accident happened around a construction zone ... they were working on the two lane, re-topping it.

The tractor trailer was behind another vehicle, most likely, following too close. When the car in front of him slowed down for the construction, the driver of the tractor trailer hit the brakes hard, crossed center, and hit the oncoming car head-on. The passenger in the car was Charles.
