A Yuba County fatal accident claimed lives and led to the closure of the Feather River Boulevard off-ramp on northbound Highway 70 on March 29, authorities confirmed.

Still, details surrounding the incident remain unclear, including the cause of the collision.

Investigation Continues in Yuba County Fatal Accident

Preliminary reports did not specify how many people lost their lives or how many vehicles were involved in the accident. The CHP traffic collision unit is currently investigating the circumstances that led to the fatal crash. The closure of the northbound off-ramp impacted local traffic, and it was uncertain when the roadway would reopen. Updates are expected as the investigation continues.

Pursuing Compensation in a Fatal Accident Case 

When a loved one loses their life in a Yuba County fatal accident caused by someone else’s negligence, certain family members may file a wrongful death claim. These claims are typically brought by the spouse and children of the decedent, but in the absence of immediate family, siblings and parents are also eligible. Filing a wrongful death claim allows the family to seek compensation for the financial losses associated with the death and obtain a sense of justice. Recoverable damages may include:

• Loss of financial support can be recovered, accounting for the wages and benefits the decedent would have earned during their lifetime. 
• Loss of assistance in the household is recoverable for duties the decedent performed around the home, such as cooking, cleaning, lawn or auto care, and taking care of the children. 
• Compensation can be provided for the loss of companionship, affection, and moral support that the decedent provided to their loved ones.
