Why Solo Vehicle Crashes Occur

Solo vehicle crashes, which involve only one vehicle, can occur for a variety of reasons. They often stem from driver behavior, environmental factors, and vehicle conditions. Below are some common causes of solo vehicle accidents:

• Another Driver Who Leaves the Scene: A hit-and-run or aggressive driver can cause a Westley fatal collision and depart from the accident scene.
• Roadway Damage or Poor Design: Damage to the road, such as potholes or bad design, can lead to a fatal accident. The government entity charged with design and maintenance may be held liable in these cases. However, since the timeline to file such a claim is six months, getting help from an attorney is advisable.
• Mechanical Failures: Issues such as brake failure or tire blowouts can lead to loss of vehicle control. When mechanical failure may have led to a fatal collision, retaining the vehicle is essential so it can be examined for defects.

How Filing a Wrongful Death Claim Can Recover Compensation for Your Loss

The loss of a member of the family in a Westley fatal collision is an unimaginable emotional burden. When the death occurs due to another’s negligence or intentional act, it only exacerbates the pain. Filing a wrongful death claim can be a path to seek justice and financial restitution for surviving family members. This type of legal claim enables families to pursue compensation for various losses, including funeral expenses, loss of income and potential inheritance, and the emotional impact of the loss of companionship and support. 

Understanding the process of filing a wrongful death claim and gathering necessary evidence is crucial for building a strong case.
