San Diego Personal Injury Lawyers

Driving on roads that are not highly used can be dangerous if a car accident occurs, as few people will see the accident and report it.  This is particularly true when the accident occurs after midnight when even fewer people are out on the roads and able to help if they see something that goes wrong.  Tragically, one person was killed in a two-vehicle San Diego car accident that occurred in East County on Friday morning.

According to police, the latest fatal San Diego car accident occurred at approximately 1 a.m. on Skyline Truck Trail near Hidden Trail Drive.  Few details were given regarding this collision other than the facts that there were two vehicles involved and that one person was killed.  There was also a one-car San Diego car accident in the area at the same time that involved a rollover accident.

California Car Accident Statistics

First, we’d like to extend our condolences to the family of the person who was killed.  Losing a life in a San Diego car accident is never anything but a tragedy, and many if not most of these situations could be avoided absent a mistake by at least one driver.  Secondly, this fatal San Diego car accident will only add to the overall statistics regarding California car accidents.  Every year, 175,000 people are injured and more than 3,000 people are killed in these occurrences.

Before any determination regarding the advisability of filing a California wrongful death lawsuit could be made, more facts would need to be obtained.  However, if it turns out that the person who was killed lost his or her life because of negligence or recklessness by one of the drivers, it’s possible for the family to analyze the potential remedies that would be applied after a successful legal claim.  These remedies could include damages for medical, funeral and burial costs as well as damages for lost income and loss of companionship.
