Interstate 5 carries a lot of traffic across Kern County. It’s a long, straight shot and careless drivers are the number one danger on this busy road. Victims can look at a cellphone or glance at the scenery and not realize that they are heading into a frightening impact.
A devastating accident can leave victims with severe and life-threatening injuries. Families may wonder how they’ll find justice for a loved one killed by a careless mistake.

Finding Help for Families After a Tragic Kern County Accident
For those who are forced to mourn the loss of a loved one, a wrongful death claim can be a way to safeguard family members in the future. Close relatives will face funeral service and burial expenses and ambulance fees.
A spouse and children of the victim may also have to support themselves without the help of the income the deceased can no longer provide. That’s not to mention the future care and guidance family members have been robbed of.
A wrongful death lawsuit is leveled against an at-fault driver’s insurance provider and asks for financial support for these hardships and others.
