    Damages in Fatal Car Accident Cases

    If you can show that the other driver’s negligence contributed to the crash‚ financial support may be available for damages including:

    • Medical bills: If the victim survived the initial crash only to die of their injuries at the hospital‚ it can result in expensive medical bills for the family.
    • Burial costs: A claim could result in compensation for funeral and burial costs‚ which could add up to thousands of dollars.
    • Lost wages: If the victim was a wage earner and financial contributor to the family‚ your lawyer can get compensation for income the victim won’t be able to provide.
    • Pain and suffering: You can pursue compensation on behalf of the victim for their physical pain and mental anguish.

    Fatal Car Accidents in Escondido

    The number of fatal car accidents in San Diego County and Escondido are staggering. According to the California Highway Patrol’s Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System (SWITRS)‚ there were 193 fatal car accidents in San Diego County in the year 2013. During that same year‚ there were three fatal car crashes in Escondido.

    While all traffic deaths are tragic for victims’ families‚ not all result in wrongful death claims. If you wish to pursue financial support for your losses‚ you’ll have to prove that the other driver was negligent in some way. It can help your case‚ if the at-fault driver is charged with vehicular manslaughter or driving while impaired. It can also bolster your case if they were cited for running a red light‚ speeding‚ driving while distracted‚ or failing to yield the right-of-way. A driver doesn’t have to face charges or citations for a crash to face civil liability through a wrongful death claim.
