Bakersfield, CA — A devastating head-on collision claimed two lives and left another injured early Saturday morning, on July 20, 2024, according to KBAK.
The incident occurred on Buena Vista Boulevard, just west of Adobe Road at approximately 1:59 AM.
Authorities report that a Chevrolet Tahoe, driven by a 52-year-old man, was heading eastbound on Buena Vista Boulevard when it collided head-on with a Chevrolet Silverado traveling westbound, driven by a 45-year-old man.
Both drivers were pronounced dead at the scene. A 39-year-old passenger in the Tahoe survived the crash but sustained injuries and was transported to a local hospital for medical treatment. The California Highway Patrol (CHP) has not yet determined the cause of the accident and is currently conducting a thorough investigation.
Wrongful Death Claims
While no amount of money can bring back loved ones lost in a vehicular fatality, the emotional toll of such a loss is often compounded by the financial burden that falls on surviving family members.
Filing a Wrongful Death claim with the insurance provider of those who bear even partial liability can provide compensation to help cover medical expenses, burial costs, and the loss of support for the deceased’s dependents.
Insurance companies have a vested interest in minimizing the payouts for claims. Therefore, the expertise of a skilled personal injury attorney is crucial in securing fair compensation and justice for the deceased.
