Wrongful Death Suits Filed After Truck Kills Young Couple on Jax Highway

Wrongful Death Suits Filed After Truck Kills Young Couple on Jax Highway

A wrongful death lawsuit was filed Wednesday, September 23rd on behalf of Hannah Krajewski and Devaughn Gresham. Krajewski, 21, and Gresham, 23, were killed when a semi-truck slammed into them on I-95 in Jacksonville, Florida earlier this month. It’s an area of the interstate that’s been under construction for months.

The father of Krajewski has a message for all truck drivers: slow down and be careful:

“I never want to see this happen to anyone else again. It was senseless, and it never needs to happen again,” said James Krajewski.

Krajewski and Gresham were heading into Jacksonville for a date night about 10 minutes away from the downtown area when the semi-truck rounded the curve at the Lem Turner exit, lost control, hit the center median and slammed into the Kia Optima, driving it across the highway and into the guardrail.

Gresham had recently graduated from Robert E. Lee High School and Krajewski graduated from Orange Park High School. The Kia became a mangled mess. It shows how fast and impactful the accident was.

The crash report from Florida Highway Patrol has limited information but it says that charges are pending on the outcome of the investigation:

“The rules are the truck driver has to slow down and use extreme caution in weather, in the rain, on wet roads. The rules are you have to slow down in construction zones,” Pajcic said.

Pajcic said the semi-truck driver was going at least 70 miles per hour, which is 10 miles per hour over the speed limit.

A spokesperson for the Florida Department of Transportation said the stretch of I-95 between Norwood and Edgewood Avenues is being resurfaced but added that there was no construction being done the night of the crash.

Unfortunately, these types of truck accidents are far too common. Our hearts here at Schrier Law Group go out to the families of the two deceased.

I was involved in an auto accident in January 2016. We decided to contact Paul K. Schrier, PLLC for legal advice. He never got annoyed with me calling to ask questions, which was quite often. We have finally reached the final stages of this case, which they handled very well, and have come to a settlement. I highly recommend the Florida personal injury attorneys at The Law Offices of Paul K. Schrier, PLLC, especially Paul K. Schrier to any one who needs a personal injury attorney. Thank you very much Paul for everything you have done do me.

The Schrier LG is an excellent firm! They accepted my case, provided me with all the procedural information, maintained a high level of professionalism while showing kindness and care. The doctor's office that they suggested is another group of kind and considerate individuals, dedicated to my full recovery. I would recommend the Schrier Group to friends, just as they were recommended to me. I am happy with my settlement and very pleased with the attention and diligence of the group as a whole. Thank you again!

Mr. Paul Schrier is by far the best attorney for the job! He is very responsive, knowledgeable, and very efficient. Despite my very busy schedule, he kept me informed throughout the process. I am very please with the outcome of my case. The customer service I received from the entire team has been amazing! Thank you all so much!

Not only did I get a phenomenal attorney to represent me in my case, but I also got a step by step education on how the legal process actually worked. I was encouraged to ask questions and be an informed client. I was never treated like a case. I truly felt like the advice and recommendations he gave to me would have been the same he would have pursued if he were the client. That was important to me. I needed to work with an attorney I could trust with my best interest in mind...and that is what I got with Paul Schrier.
