Head On Crash Caused by Driver Negligence
Texas motorists never know when a collision may occur on the roadway. Each person behind the wheel has the right to reasonably expect other drivers to act in accordance with traffic and safety regulations. Still, extenuating circumstances often occur that lead to motor vehicle accidents causing injury or even death to innocent victims. When a fatal car accident has been caused by driver negligence, family members of the deceased may seek justice on behalf of their loved one.
At approximately 7:30 p.m. on a recent Saturday, a motor vehicle accident occurred. Two vehicles were reportedly involved. The incident was a head-on crash that left tragedy and devastation in its wake.
The Department of Public Safety stated that the crash occurred moments after one of the two vehicles crossed the center line of traffic. A 54-year-old and a 50-year-old were both pronounced dead at the scene of the collision. Another person, age 53, was transported to an area hospital for emergency care; sadly, she also later succumbed to her injuries.
Tylka Law can Offset some Expenses from Car Accidents
An investigation into the Texas crash remains ongoing at this time. In a similar situation, the immediate family member of a victim killed in a fatal car accident is able to pursue legal action against another motorist that is believed to have been negligent while driving. Loved ones often face extensive financial debt in the aftermath of an auto accident, and seeking monetary judgment against those responsible for the crash can lead to compensation that may help offset expenses associated with the accident.
