San Diego Personal Injury Lawyers

Walking along the street is something that most people would think is a relatively safe activity.  While there are certainly risks involved when anyone ventures out into public, few people would assume that their lives are in danger.  Tragically, one woman paid the ultimate price for something that went wrong on Friday morning when she was hit by a vehicle and killed in Tierrasanta.

According to police, the latest fatal San Diego pedestrian accident occurred on Friday morning at approximately 8:45 a.m. when a woman whose name has not been released was walking in a southbound direction along Tierrasanta Boulevard near the intersection with Tambor Road.  For reasons that have not yet been detailed, a vehicle struck the woman and injured her badly.  She was rushed to a nearby hospital but did not survive.

Every year, approximately 70 people are killed and more than 400 more are injured in these occurrences.

Clearly, more facts would need to be revealed before anyone would be able to decide whether or not a valid California wrongful death claim could be made.  If it turns out that the driver of the vehicle was negligent, however, and the family of the woman who was killed pursued an action, a successful claim could bring damages that compensate the family for medical, funeral and burial expenses as well as lost income and loss of companionship.
