CALIFORNIA – May 23, 2021

A 27-year-old San Diego man suffered fatal injury at the scene after crashing his car into a concrete barrier near the U.S.-Mexico border, according to the California Highway Patrol.  After an accident results in fatal injury, surviving loved ones should consult with a car accident attorney who can file insurance claims for accidental death benefits, and initiate accident reconstruction to find out if there were outside factors that could have contributed to the accident such as mechanical failure, or roadway hazards.  

Accidental death insurance.

The accidental death benefit, as part of a car insurance policy which may not be required, will pay for death expenses if, in a covered auto accident, bodily injury causes the death of a policy holder, or a covered family member.  An experienced accident attorney can help surviving loved ones by reviewing insurance policies, and communicating with carriers to process claims when necessary.  Med Pay coverages are an option for personal injury protection in California, and the policy’s death benefit may cover funeral expenses.  It is always best to speak with a car accident attorney who understands car insurance laws.  

Insurance.

The families of drivers who suffer fatal injury in a single car crash in the State of California should talk with car accident attorneys who can answer questions about how the laws will affect insurance policy death benefits, and wrongful death legal action if outside factors were found to contribute to the accident.  Experienced car accident lawyers can build a case against negligent parties cited for hit and run, mechanics for mechanical failure, and car and part manufacturers after a determination of fault.  Consultation with accident attorneys will benefit surviving family and loved ones who may need fiscal stability.      

Damages.

Damages may include present and future loss of earnings, medical bills, household expenses, and pain and suffering, mental anguish and loss of consortium or companionship, as well as punitive damages in certain cases.  

The recovery of damages is contingent upon California auto accident lawyers proving another individual, or entity was the cause of the injury and owed a duty of care to those experiencing related losses.  Developing a case for negligence can be complicated, so it is important to seek legal counsel shortly after an accident, in accordance with the California statute of limitations for accidents.  Contact the Law Offices of Jeffrey E.
