Fatal Auto Accidents in California
In California, motor vehicle accidents result in an average of roughly 75 fatalities per week. Even though deadly incidents happen regularly, there is no way to anticipate the effects they will have on families. One of the most trying experiences someone can ever go through is losing a loved one suddenly and unexpectedly.
After losing a loved one, you can file a wrongful death claim for compensation. This claim must meet specific criteria in order to be successful. First, it must be proven that another party’s negligence led to the death. The claimant must also be entitled by law to file a claim for compensation. Finally, you must show that damages were sustained as a result of the death. This could be funeral bills, auto repair fees, lost pay, or even pain and suffering.
You should work with a knowledgeable Alpine wrongful death attorney to give yourself the best chance of winning. You can seek compensation from a third party to offset these and other losses with the aid of an attorney.
