Tulare County, CA – According to KSEE, on Wednesday, February 21, 2024, at the intersection of Road 180 and Avenue 208, a fatal two-vehicle collision occurred between Strathmore residents.
Investigations indicate that a 40-year-old Strathmore man was driving eastbound on Avenue 208 in a 2006 Nissan Maxima at the same time that 67-year-old June A. Fisher of Strathmore was driving southbound on Road 180 in a Ram 3500.
At the intersection of 208 and 180, Fisher failed to stop at the stop sign and collided with the Nissan. The impact took both vehicles off the road, crashing through the stop sign to come to rest in a dirt field, with the Fisher’s Ram overturning in the process.
Fisher received transportation to a nearby hospital, while the Nissan driver was declared dead at the scene. Authorities have stated that driver intoxication did not play a factor in the crash.
Wrongful Death Claims
While no amount of money can bring back those who lose their lives in a vehicular fatality, the emotional burden of their loss is often accompanied by a financial burden that falls on their surviving family members.
A wrongful death claim filed with the insurance provider of an at-fault driver can provide compensation to help cover medical expenses, burial costs, and even the loss of support for dependents of the deceased.
However, because insurance companies carry the incentive to reduce the payout for any claim they cannot deny, the services of a skilled personal injury attorney can prove crucial in securing justice for the deceased.
