Fatal Car Accidents In California
Around 35,000 people die every year in car accidents – that’s one death about every 12 minutes.
Not all fatal accidents lead to criminal charges. When a driver is “at-fault” for causing a death, however, through negligent driving they could be charged with “vehicular manslaughter.” It must be proven that they were driving recklessly and that behavior caused a fatality.
Fatal accidents typically result from:
- Distracted driving
- Drowsy driving
- Driving under the influence
- Reckless driving
- Inclement weather
- Defects on the street and highway
- Young and inexperienced drivers
A wrongful death claim can be brought forward in car accident cases where a fatality occurred. Beneficiaries of the deceased may collect compensation, including:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Medical expenses
- Lost wages the deceased would have earned
- Pain and suffering prior to death
- Loss of consortium
