Vehicle Accidents in California
Unfortunately, thousands of drivers lose their lives in vehicle accidents every year in the United States. The leading cause of most fatalities is drivers not paying attention to their surroundings. There are many reasons why drivers aren’t fully present while they drive, which include cell phone usage, speed, fatigue, alcohol consumption, and more. Not all drivers intentionally mean to put themselves and others at risk, but when they partake in negligent behavior, there’s always a chance that serious damages will occur.
The police are currently investigating this accident to figure out why the two vehicles collided. They’re checking who had the right of way and whether negligence played a role. They’re also checking road conditions and vehicle conditions in case these were contributing factors. Once the police discover what caused the accident, there’s a chance that Wilmes’ family may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit with the help of a California wrongful death attorney.
