Liability in Traffic Accidents On Union Street in Bakersfield CA

Bakersfield has several massive intersections bringing together multiple lanes of traffic. Safe drivers have to depend on other dozens of other motorists observing traffic lights and the right-of-way when passing through. When a distracted driver makes a small mistake, it can cause impacts with cars from several different directions.

These full-speed collisions can easily cause broken bones, Traumatic Brain Injuries, and for some, the risk of life-threatening wounds.

Bakersfield Man Killed in Multi-Car Collision

A multi-vehicle accident tragically claimed one victim’s life in Bakersfield on Thursday morning. FOX58-TV reports the collision occurred on Union Avenue, near the intersection of East 18th Street on May 18, 2023.

Officers were called to the scene east of downtown sometime after 10 a.m. Investigators discovered that three vehicles had collided.

A 23-year-old Bakersfield man driving one of the cars suffered major injuries and was rushed to Kern Medical. Several hours later he was pronounced dead. There was no word on if the accident left anyone else injured.

Investigators continue to work to determine what led up to the accident.

Support for Victims and Families After a Tragic Bakersfield Collision

Families left to grieve the loss of a loved one must make sure they aren’t unfairly targeted by bill collectors after a tragedy. A spouse or children of the victim must file a wrongful death claim against an at-fault driver’s auto insurance provider to have these expenses covered.

A wrongful death claim asks for support for several hardships the family faces:

  • Support for funeral and burial expenses.
  • Support for remaining medical bills.
  • Support for emergency response fees.
  • Support for the loss of guidance the deceased will no longer provide to loved ones in the future.
  • Support for the loss of income the deceased will no longer be able to provide the family in the years ahead.

For surviving victims dealing with serious injuries, an injury claim would ask that a car insurer cover all medical bills and the loss of income the patient endures while missing work.
