Santa Ana fatal accidents often lead to wrongful death lawsuits. If the victim of a fatal accident in Santa Ana loses their life due to another driver’s fault or negligence, in California it is known as a “wrongful death”. Wrongful death cases can be quite complex, especially if the victim survived the accident and perished a few days, weeks or months later. After more than 40 years of experience in wrongful death cases, I can tell you they are about two things: taking care of and communicating with the family, and providing extensive and excellent legal work. There are often multiple parties to identify and hold accountable, especially if the accident involved a commercial vehicle, delivery van or truck.
Motorcycle accidents that are deemed to be the fault of the biker themselves are not wrongful death cases, however a passenger always has a claim. The roads of Santa Ana are heavily traveled, and the loss of life in accidents in the area is one of the highest in Orange County.
