Motorcyclists in Fresno can find themselves at the mercy of motorists who don’t pay enough attention to the road in front of them. A distracted driver can be looking at a cellphone and fail to check properly for anyone else on the road.
This is especially hazardous at intersections when careless drivers can pull up and take a split second look to their left before pulling out onto a busy road. In that split second they’ve failed to see a motorcycle approaching and suddenly they are in front of a rider who doesn’t have enough room to avoid a crash.
The results can be devastating for a victim on a motorcycle and the motorcyclist’s family who must deal with the tragic consequences of a driver’s mistake.
Motorcyclist Killed After Collision with Pickup in Central Fresno
A motorcyclist lost his life after a collision with a pick-up truck in Fresno Friday morning. ABC30-TV reported the accident happened around 6 a.m. at West Avenue and Princeton Avenue on January 22, 2021.
Fresno police say the rider was traveling north on West Avenue when a pickup truck on westbound Princeton Avenue pulled out in front of him. The motorcyclist was taken to Community Regional Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
Police officers say the driver of the pickup did remain on the scene of the accident to cooperate with the investigation.
Assistance for Families After a Fresno Motorcycle Collision
The families of motorcycle accident victims will have a difficult path ahead as they must learn to live without the emotional support of a loved one. Unfortunately, one of the biggest hurdles grieving families may endure is the struggle to get economic assistance to pay for hospital bills, funeral costs, and to replace the income the deceased had provided the family.
Families can face financial hardships in the immediate aftermath of an accident and in the years to come as financial disaster becomes a real possibility. These burdens should never fall on a family when the insurance company of an at-fault driver can be held accountable. To make certain an insurance company is put on notice of what they’ll be required to cover for the family a wrongful death claim can be filed.
This civil lawsuit would demand compensation for every cost a family has endured as a result of an at-fault driver’s mistake. The insurance company would be required to cover any expenses that have already risen and any expected hardships in the future to protect spouses and children of the victim as they rebuild their lives.
