Fatal Auto Accidents in California
Fatal car crashes can have a devastating impact on the lives of families. Unfortunately, hundreds of people die every month as a result of automobile accidents in the state of California. These accidents add up to thousands of people annually dying as a result of automobile collisions in our states.
The majority of accidents that we see here in California take place as a result of drivers who are negligent and reckless. Drivers who are under the influence of alcohol or drugs, speeding, or engaging in negligent actions while behind the wheel continued to be the leading cause of these accidents. No matter how safe and considerate we are traveling nearby, it is nearly impossible to predict the behavior that another driver will engage in.
When innocent bicyclists die as a result of fatal collisions, families are often able to take legal action. Following the loss of a loved one, your family can file a wrongful death claim against the responsible party. This type of legal action can provide your family with financial relief when it comes to covering funeral costs and burial expenses. In addition, you can recover compensation for lost earning capacity, mental and emotional distress, and various other damages that your family has been forced to endure.
In order to prevail, you must demonstrate that the defendant caused the accident to take place by breaching the duty of care that they owe to your loved one. You must also prove that the accident that claimed the life of your loved one caused damage to your family. It is important that you take quick legal action after losing your loved one in a fatal crash.
