While there are many types of wrongful death cases, such as those which involve medical malpractice or a defective product, fatal auto accidents caused by someone’s negligent behavior are especially prevalent in San Bernardino, and the rest of California. At Kampf, Schiavone & Associates, our law firm recognizes the many challenges that families frequently exprience after they have lost a loved one because of someone’s careless behavior.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 35,390 people passed away in a motor vehicle accident during 2014. Although some of these fatalities only involved a single vehicle, many were the result of another driver’s negligence. For example, many reckless drivers have caused deadly traffic crashes because they chose to operate a vehicle while intoxicated or travel at dangerously high speeds.
You may be experiencing many different hardships if a family member passed away because of someone’s negligence. For starters, you could be angry, upset and unsure of how you will carry on. Losing loved ones can be incredibly painful and may create a plethora of challenges, from financial woes to certain elements of life being turned completely upside down. However, those who have died because of the careless behavior of others deserve justice.
