Head-On Accidents Involving Trucks On Hwy 99 In Merced County CA

Highway 99 is a route that carries a lot of traffic and a lot of careless and reckless drivers. Motorists may be focused on the vehicles in the lanes around them and not realize the threats that could emerge from the opposite side of the highway.

Drivers who have lost focus on the road or perhaps are traveling too fast can lose control of their vehicles in an instant. When highways don’t have full dividers, vehicles can easily end up in the path of oncoming traffic.

The accidents that result can involve dangerous head-on collisions and leave victims with more severe injuries than in a normal impact. In the worst cases, drivers and passengers can have their very lives threatened after a terrible accident.

Support for Victims and Their Families After a Merced County Accident

Families who have suffered the loss of a loved one should have the freedom from the financial stresses that accidents can cause. Unfortunately, not long after an accident, the bills for a funeral and burial will come due. The family will also be without the guidance and financial support the victim would have provided in the future.

A wrongful death filed against an at-fault driver’s vehicle insurance provider can protect families from these financial hardships in the present and in the years that follow. A spouse or children of the victim are permitted to file this lawsuit on behalf of the family. A personal injury lawyer is also permitted to file this claim for the family and ensure they receive full support through such a difficult time.
