27-year-old Jeremy Jay of Edgefield killed in 18-wheeler accident, by Dallas truck accident lawyer Michael Grossman
On October 26, 2009, 27-year-old Jeremy Jay was killed in a truck accident in Edgefield County. The accident occurred in the morning hours as Jay was driving a pickup truck behind a big rig. The cargo on the rear of the commercial vehicle snagged the overpass and was forced off of the rear of the trailer onto Jay's car. He was killed instantly.
This is a terrible tragedy. I am surprised this accident has not received more media coverage. Many more obscure trucking accidents get plenty of media coverage, but this one seems to have barely made an appearance on the news. That is sad.
Naturally, if this young man was married or if he had children (or both), these immediate family members would have the most obvious wrongful death claim against the trucking company. Additionally, there are other family members that may have claims as well, depending upon the circumstances of the case. Hopefully, his family has retained a truck accident attorney and intends to hold this trucking company responsible for such an absurd oversight.

The anniversary of his death is coming up and memories start flooding the minds of those who cared for him. He was married, did not have children, but had a loving family and many, many friends. He will be missed. It took a long time to comment due to the nature of the accident and how hard it hit everyone. He had one of the largest visitations that the county has ever seen. His wife is still distressed will most likely always be traumatized by this event. I grew up with Jeremy for the most part and knew him for nearly 20 years. He will be missed but not forgotten. Thanks for shining a light on what was a neglectful truck driver. And the sad thing is, he had to have a closed casket due to his injuries, so I never got to even tell my friend goodbye, face to face.
