On August 13 around 4:30 pm Angel Wells, 28, was crossing the street in the crosswalk at the green light. She was on Alexis Rd near Bennett. At this time, Joseph Posadny of Temeperance was driving his pickup truck about 50-60 mph in a 45 mph zone. He ran the red light and struck Ms. Wells, killing her. Mr. Posadny was driving under the influence of alcohol at the time.

He was indicted by the Lucas County Grand Jury on September 10th with two counts of aggravated vehicular homocide and one count of failure to stop after an accident. He faces up to 15 years in prison if he is convicted.

Find the insurance coverage

Insurance coverage is essential to getting the best recovery possible in most cases. Most defendants do not have enough money or assets to adequately compensate the family members of someone killed as the result of negligence.

In one  Ohio wrongful death case, we represented three seriously injured people and the insurance company told us there was only $500,000 in coverage. After we threatened to file suit against the large corporate defendant, we were finally told that a “mistake” had been made and there actually was $2 million in coverage. Our attorneys demand to see certified copies of insurance policies and signed affidavits that the defendant does not have an “umbrella policy,” which covers claims that exceed a basic insurance policy.
