Sacramento Motorcycle-Truck Wreck Leaves One Dead, Another Injured

All Sacramento motor vehicle accidents are inherently dangerous. However, the risks involved in a serious wreck increase exponentially when a motorcycle—which leaves its driver and passengers vulnerable to hazards—and heavy trucks collide. One such accident on I-80 in West Sacramento lead to the death of a lane-splitting motorcyclist, and resulted in serious injuries to his female passenger.

73-year-old Robert McDonald was driving his Harley Davidson Electra Glide on I-80 in west Sacramento around 1:20 p.m. on Sunday when the crash occurred. McDonald was navigating his motorcycle between a 24-foot flatbed truck and a tractor-trailer truck when the bike started to wobble. Both McDonald and his passenger, a 52-year-old female, were thrown from the Harley. McDonald was then run over by the rear tandem tires of the flatbed truck, and the passenger was hit by the tractor-trailer truck.

Although both received medical attention at the scene of the accident, McDonald was pronounced dead as a result of his injuries. The passenger was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment of serious injuries.

I sat down and met with Jelena Tiemann about my vehicle accident.I presented all of my documentation to her in which she gave me her assessment.Although the Tiemann Law Firm wont be representing me because my settlement offer was pretty good she was very clear,forward and professional about what she felt could and couldn't be done.I recommend this law firm to anyone who needs a helping hand at fighting a case where you don't have to worry about the outcome not going in your favor. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees.

The Tiemanns were referred to me by a friend and I am exceptionally happy with the service I received. I had never been in an accident before. I had no idea what to do. Jelena verbally explained how everything would work to me, and she and Peter handled everything. I didn't have to lift a finger once. They went above and beyond for me and I am extremely grateful. I pray I won't ever need this type of assistance again, but I will definitely be referring them to friends and family.

I highly recommend The Tiemann Law Firm! I had never before been in a situation where I sustained injury and had to seek legal representation. I was nervous, traumatized, and had no idea what to expect. Jelena, Peter, and their staff walked me through each step of the process. They explained everything in detail. They patiently answered all my questions, responded quickly to every email, text message, phone call, etc. I felt totally prepared for each new phase of the legal process. Furthermore, they were fearless in their defense of me. In certain situations, when I felt attacked or scared my attorney protected me like I was family. Their diligence, honesty, integrity, and compassion provided a true sense of healing and closure for my family and I. The Tiemann Law Firm accomplished more for me than I ever thought possible and I am forever grateful.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!
