Incident Location The Minnesota State Patrol said a Honda-CRV traveling west near 7702 Highway 95 just before 3 p.m. crossed the center line and collided head on with an eastbound Volkswagen Jetta. A second eastbound car, a Nissan Altima, was struck by a tire that flew off one of the vehicles near 75th Avenue. Three occupants of the Volkswagen were tragically killed: driver Jeffrey Geisler, 60; Steven Geisler, 16; and Susan Geisler, 57. Steven Geisler died after being transported to a hospital. The driver of the SUV, an 80-year-old Princeton woman, died in the crash. The State Patrol said the driver of the car struck by the loose tire was uninjured.
FATAL THREE-VEHICLE ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
Residents say the road in which the crash happened is dangerous. Drivers tend to go well over the posted speed limit of 45 on parts of the road. The most common cause of head-on accidents is driver error. Common variables include drunk driving, speeding, distracted driving, poor road design, inexperienced drivers, and confusion on the part of the driver. Candice Bond, an experienced accident attorney, said in cases such as this that it is imperative to have an independent investigation conducted by a seasoned lawyer as soon as possible to preserve evidence. “An attorney can collect the proper evidence to help prove that a driver’s actions were reckless, which requires a variety of resources,” said Bond, who is Managing Partner at Bond Legal and a national analyst for The Legal Advocate. “In addition to the diligent work of law enforcement, an attorney can re-interview important witnesses, analyze any surveillance video from the scene of the crash and obtain phone and texting records of the liable party. Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help compassionately guide families who have lost loved ones during this difficult time, all while protecting their rights.” According to AAA, from 2015 to 2018, there were more than 2,000 deaths from head-on collisions while driving on divided highways.
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIMS
Pending results of the investigation, the families of Jeffrey Geisler, Steven Geisler and Susan Geisler may be entitled to wrongful death claims. Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of love and companionship, funeral costs, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident. “The stress and sorrow can be extremely overwhelming after losing a loved one in an accident,” said Stefano Formica, Of Counsel at Bond Legal. “We understand just what families are forced to go through, and having their rights protected is vital. A wrongful death lawyer will stay updated on the official investigation and help ensure that their legal rights and best interests are protected.” (This report is based on verified data – learn more on our About Us page.)
