ACCIDENT NEAR MERCED KILLS THREE PEOPLE

CBS Sacramento reported on an accident last week near Merced that resulted in the deaths of three people. According to the new story, the accident happened Wednesday morning on the northbound side of Highway 99 just south of Mission Avenue. CHP was still investigating the accident but from what was known a pickup truck heading south crossed the center line and collided with an SUV. Both the driver and the passenger in the pickup truck were residents of Modesto. The driver of the SUV was from Chowchilla. All three individuals died from injuries sustained in the crash.

Wrongful Death Lawsuits in Sacramento

It is tragic when a person dies in a motor vehicle accident. The details of the above accident are still unknown because no one survived to explain what occurred just prior to the accident. Law enforcement officers must try to piece together what caused the wreck from evidence at the accident scene, eyewitness testimony, and any traffic camera footage that may be available. Sadly, knowing the reason for the accident won’t take away the pain that the families of these individuals are experiencing from the loss of their loved ones.

When there is a fatality in a car accident, the family of the deceased may have a wrongful death claim against the other driver or another party. The attorney for the family must prove that the other party caused the accident before the family can receive compensation for their loss. A wrongful death lawsuit is a complex matter that requires the help of an experienced Sacramento wrongful death attorney.

Why Should I File a California Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

A lawsuit will not bring your family member back, and money can never erase your pain. However, seeking justice for your loved one and your family can provide some measure of closure after losing a loved one in a car accident. Furthermore, a monetary settlement can also help pay living expenses and provide for your family, especially if your loved one was the main source of income for the family.

Lastly, a wrongful death lawsuit sheds light on why the accident occurred. If the other driver is guilty of drunk, distracted, reckless, drugged, or drowsy driving, it is helpful to bring this behavior to light so that other drivers see the consequences of such negligent behavior.

From the very start of my case the Tiemann Law Firm was wonderful. Perter came all the way to my home to sit down and talk to me about my options. He made me and my partner feel very comfortable and promised us he would take the very best care of my case. Peter kept me informed every step of the way and was always on top of things. everything was done in a timely manor and I always felt like I was the only case he was working on because he was so fast. In the end Peter got me back way more money than I ever expected. I would recommend this law firm to everyone. I am very happy with the outcome of my case thanks to the Tiemann Law Firm! Thank you!

I was in a car accident a while back where I was injured and had to miss work for an extended period of time.  After nearly a year of fighting with the insurance company with no results and no progress, I met with Jelena Tiemann.  I couldn't have asked for a more responsive and supportive advocate.  We quickly reached a settlement and I finally was able to move from the stress and burden of feuding with my insurance.  I highly recommending meeting with Jelena if you're in need of a lawyer.

I just saw my lawyer Jelena Tiemann on a t.v ad, which reminded me how much she helped when I was in a desperate situation. I just love her! That is why I feel a need to tell everyone. I had a situation that happened & didn’t know what to do, our where to go. I didn’t even know if she could help me or if any lawyer could. All I wanted was it to go away & was afraid most lawyers wanted to drag it out & possibly go to court. For one she was very professional but was very personable (maybe b.c she’s a lady). She didn’t make me feel embarrassed or self-conscious that I did something wrong or was the cause of the situation. She immediately said we should try our best before going to court. Let me handle some paperwork, if at the last we do go to court we have documents. She gave me all the details, pros and cons but reassured me she deals with these cases all the time. She came through and made it as painless as possible. I now have my life back.
