Fatal Car Accidents in California

Southern California is one of the most densely populated regions in the nation and has some of the most congested roadways as a result. More than 3,500 people die in traffic accidents each year in California, and this number has increased each year. Accidents often occur due to a driver’s negligent actions, which may include texting while driving, speeding, or impaired driving. Research indicates that more than one-third of all road fatalities in the US are caused by speeding drivers. These reckless choices dramatically increase a driver’s risk of being in an accident and causing great harm to someone else.

Getting the news that your loved one has been killed in a car accident is something that no one wants to hear. This is an overwhelming and emotional time in your life. In the days following an accident, many necessary matters need to be handled. Legal matters are the last thing you want to think about when mourning a loved one’s passing, but should not be put off. Legal matters should be addressed promptly because there are short deadlines put in place by insurance companies following an accident that you don’t want to miss.

When your loved one is killed by someone else’s actions a wrongful death claim can be filed on their behalf. Oftentimes the loss of a close family member causes a great financial burden to the surviving family members. These may include medical bills, funeral costs, and lost future earnings. While no amount of money could ever replace your loved one’s presence in your life, a wrongful death suit can help pay for the bills and other financial pressures that are piling up. An experienced wrongful death attorney can walk you through the process of filing a claim and help you handle these important matters.
