Isleton, CA – On the morning of Thursday, February 29, 2024, a man in his 40s lost his life in a crash that sent his vehicle into the Sacramento River, according to ABC10.
The California High Patrol reports that, around 11 AM, the deceased lost control of his vehicle at the intersection of Andrus Island and Isleton Road, crashing into the Sacramento River.
His body was later removed from the water. Investigators have found no indication of other occupants of his vehicle. It is unknown if intoxication played a part in the crash.
Wrongful Death Claims in Solo-Vehicle Collisions
The compensation provided by a wrongful death claim can help relieve grieving families of the financial burdens associated with the loss of a loved one in a vehicular fatality, addressing medical expenses, burial costs, and even the loss of income to support dependents of the deceased.
In some circumstances, investigations can reveal that some portion of the liability for a single-vehicle collision might fall upon other drivers in the vicinity of the accident or even unsafe roadway structures. Working through the particulars of liability to help those who have lost a loved one find proper compensation for their loss is one of the many services a personal injury attorney can provide.
Once liability has been established, a personal injury attorney can also negotiate on behalf of the victim with insurance companies, who will always seek to minimize the payout for any claim they cannot deny.
