Earlier this week, two young Fresno women were killed on the way home from a shopping trip in San Francisco. According to KSFN-TV Fresno, the women were killed after the car they were riding in crossed two lanes and crashed into a group of trees. The driver of the car also sustained major injuries and remains hospitalized.
Car accidents are one of the leading causes of personal injury and death throughout California. In the blink of an eye - a relaxing road trip, a morning commute, a trip to school - can become a life altering, tragic event. Here, two lives were lost and another faces significant injuries as the result of a car crash.
While the cause of the accident is still under investigation, many questions are raised after an accident of this magnitude. Ranging from practical questions such as "how do I contact my insurance company?" and "how did the accident occur?" to "who or what is at fault?" When accidents happen, people often don't know where to turn for answers.
Whether or not you intend to file a lawsuit, contacting a California personal injury attorney is an important first step. An experienced attorney can help answer your questions regarding insurance, provide assistance with filing necessary claims, and determine your next steps.
