San Jose, CA (July 25, 2018) – A local news source reported that the elderly man who was struck and killed by a dump truck on July 19th has now been identified as 71-year-old Joseph Moreno of San Jose, according to the Santa Clara County Medical Examiner.

Paramedics immediately arrived in an effort to assist the victim, but Moreno was unfortunately pronounced dead at the scene of the accident.

San Jose Pedestrian Accident and Wrongful Death
Investigators are currently working to be sure they make the most accurate assessment possible. There is a highly likely chance that either the driver of the dump truck or the facility where the accident occurred, or both, may be held liable for Moreno’s death. Depending on the final results of the investigation, there might very well be grounds for a wrongful death claim to follow. Of course, the choice to file a claim for compensation is a personal matter that may only be handled by the family members of the victim.
