San Diego Fatal Car Accident Lawyer
A fatal accident is a shock, emotionally and financially to the survivors. It is even worse when the tragedy was preventable. Greater care on the part of another driver, or a company that exposed your loved one to some danger, would have prevented the accident. The law provides a remedy for you in the form of a "wrongful death" action. Negligent parties may be held financially responsible when their carelessness leads to a death.
You have my sincerest condolences if you have lost a loved one. I have assisted many families dealing with the loss, the practical matters after a death, and their legal options. They have lost a family member to:
- A motorcycle accident
- A serious fall
- A defective pharmaceutical
- An incident of medical malpractice
- A bicycle or pedestrian accident
- Nursing home neglect
- Or other tragedy
A Representative Case: $1,600,000 settlement for passenger who suffered serious injuries when the driver failed to negotiate a left hand curve and plunged over an embankment. Plaintiff argued the accident was caused the County's failure to remedy an optical illusion for nighttime drivers unfamiliar with the roadway.
Liability
Those who cause such a death should be held accountable. Aside from the heartache and overwhelming grief and sorrow, typical losses include:
- Funeral expenses
- Medical bills
- Reduced inheritance
- Loss of emotional support
- Loss of income, including future income
- Loss of caregiving and other services
