Narrow, straight roads through rural Tulare County can encourage drivers to go a little too fast. Those long straightaways can also cause motorists to lose focus on the lanes. Devastating accidents are too often the result.

Victims left with traumatic injuries may have to travel long distances to receive the expert medical attention they need. In that time, wounds can worsen and victims can be placed in jeopardy of losing their lives.

Three People Tragically Killed in Tulare County Head-On Collision

Three people lost their lives in a terrible accident Thursday afternoon just south of Orange Cove. KFSN-TV reports the accident took place around the intersection of Hills Valley Road and Manning Avenue, north of Visalia, on February 16, 2023.

The California Highway Patrol got word of the accident sometime after 2:10 p.m. They determined that a truck had crashed head-on into a van.

In all, three men were killed in the collision. The victims were the two drivers involved and a passenger. Three other people were flown to a local hospital with serious injuries.

California Highway Patrol investigators have not released their findings as to what may have caused the crash.

Securing Help for Victims and their Families After an Orange Cove Traffic Accident

For families who have lost a loved one, a wrongful death claim filed against the responsible driver’s insurance provider may become necessary.

Close relatives may get burdened with the costs of a funeral and ambulance fees. They can soon face extreme financial difficulties. A claim can ask for assistance with these expenses and other losses, like the wages the deceased will no longer provide the family in the future.

Victims who survive frightening accidents will deal with difficult and expensive recoveries. For surviving victims, a claim for damages against an at-fault driver’s car insurance company can prove the best option when trying to get every cost of recovery reimbursed.

A basic insurance settlement may only cover the first few days in a hospital. The settlement could ignore the potential medical expenses that await down the road including the costs of weeks of physical therapy, injury flareups, and future surgeries. The time a victim misses at work must also be compensated.
