Monterey, CA — On the evening of Saturday, December 14, 2024, a collision between two motorcycles resulted in the death of 30-year-old Sergio Martinez Ramirez, according to KSBW.
The California Highway Patrol (CHP) reports that the fatal accident took place on Carmel Valley Road around 7 PM.
Initial investigations have not yet suggested what may have caused the motorcycles to crash. Ramirez was thrown from his vehicle by the force of impact and severely wounded. He succumbed to his injuries and was declared dead at the scene.
Ramirez’s identity was later confirmed by Monterey County Coroner’s Office.
Emergency responders arriving at the accident site provided the other motorcyclist transportation to Natividad Medical Center where they received treatment for major injuries. Their identity has not yet been released.
Authorities have not indicated whether the influence of drugs or alcohol may have played a role in the fatal collision.
Personal Injury Claims
Determining fault in a collision can involve multiple factors, and under California’s Comparative Liability rule, several parties can share partial responsibility. A personal injury attorney can play a crucial role in helping victims establish legal responsibility after a traffic accident.
Should evidence reveal that another party contributed to the injuries, victims may be eligible to file a personal injury claim with the responsible party’s insurance. This can provide compensation to help cover damages such as hospital bills and lost income during recovery.
