Another Hattiesburg Tractor-Trailer Accident

A two vehicle wreck in Hattiesburg, Mississippi this week sent one to the hospital and closed Interstate 59 down for almost four hours while debris was cleaned up. Richard Schwartz and Associates of Hattiesburg, Mississippi advocates safety while driving and encourages all drivers to develop safe driving habits.

This month in Hattiesburg, Mississippi an eighteen wheeler side swiped the right side of a slow moving vehicle before losing control and crashing into the median. Sources say the slow moving vehicle was a Cadillac and the women driving the vehicle said she was low on gas. The driver of the eighteen wheeler had very little time to respond to the slow moving vehicle in front of him and barely swiped the back right end of the car as he tried to move out of the way.

The tractor-trailer was carrying a load of metal construction poles. When he made quick evasive action of the slow moving vehicle the load wobbled. This caused the trailer to spin out of control and enter the median of the interstate. The poles left the trailer and spilled out onto Interstate 59 just outside the Hattiesburg city limits.

There were no fatalities in this accident. The driver of the eighteen wheeler was uninjured in this wreck, while the women driving the Cadillac went to the South Center Regional medical center for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Richard Schwartz and his associates are the worst lawyers that I have ever dealt with. After, I had a wreck, I made the big mistake of contacting them to represent me. To make a long story short, after over 2 years and losing my vehicle, and going to therapy for over 5 months they managed to get me a whopping $6,000 dollars. My attorney was Alvin Amistad and his paralegal Felicia. He lied to me about the offers, and after forgetting what he had previously told me about an offer, proceeded to present the same offer to me all over again! Wow! I am a law student and I thank them for showing me how to never act as a lawyer! They do not get the most that they can get for you unless you have a case worth $100,000 or more. That is said because they claim on their many, many commercials that they help you when really they don not. I would not recommend them to anyone, and as a first year law student, can do just as much as they did or better on my case. They make up for work ethic by volume, so the big cases receive the most attention while they just let the little cases like mine settle out. No real work was done on my case, but they still get 50% of what I get paid, so they still win in the end. They get $3,000 of my %6,000 just because they SAID they represented me. I do not know how they sleep at night. One day soon I will show you all how you should treat clients and give 100% to every client whether they are paying you $2,000 or $200,000!
