CHP traffic officers said a driver of a Tesla Model 3 reportedly pulled over and observed damage to their vehicle’s right front fender and passenger side mirror. The Tesla driver then proceeded to review their onboard video recorded and observed that their vehicle struck a pedestrian, authorities said. The Tesla driver contacted emergency personnel and awaited their arrival.
First responders attempted life-saving measures on the injured pedestrian. Sadly, they were declared deceased at the crash site. Authorities have not yet identified the deceased due to pending notification of next-of-kin.

How Can a Wrongful Death Claim Help Surviving Family Members?
The other side should be held accountable for their actions and the harm they have caused. This may be accomplished through the recovery of economic and non-economic damages in a wrongful death claim. While no amount of money may replace a close relative, compensation may help survivors regain financial stability and obtain a sense of closure about their loss.
While a wrongful death claim may be the least of your concerns, remember that time is of the essence in these cases. That is due to a two-year statute of limitations that generally applies. This means that a case must be filed in a civil court no later than two years from the date of the fatal incident. Not protecting the statute may cost your family in the long run.
