4-Car Collision on Interstate 15 Results in 1 Fatality

January 31, 2018/in /by damg20

According to The San Diego Union-Tribune, a four-car collision resulted in the death of a 27-year-old man late last month. The accident happened in Miramar on Interstate 15 southbound.

The California Highway Patrol determined that the man was traveling south in a 2006 Honda Civic at around 10:15 p.m. when he tried to change lanes to the left and collided with a 2017 Subaru Outback.

The force of the impact pushed the Honda into a 1998 Toyota Camry before it struck a 2007 BMW 335i and then the concrete median. Tragically, the driver of the Honda was unrestrained; he was ejected from the vehicle and sustained fatal injuries. His passenger, a 31-year-old woman, sustained minor injuries. Authorities claim occupants of the other vehicles involved were also hurt.

Debris from the collisions covered the freeway, and responders had to close lanes three through eight for nearly three hours to clear the wreckage. Other motorists allegedly told the CHP that the motorist in the Honda had been street racing prior to the crash, which remains under investigation.

If you or someone you love was hurt in an accident with a reckless driver, your family may be entitled to compensation for hospital bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and other damages. Turn to Jeffrey E. Estes & Associates to discuss your case and determine the most strategic way to proceed.

Attorneys Jeffrey E. Estes and Alton J. Smith have been litigating personal injury cases on behalf of California residents for almost 30 years. Call 855-290-8080 to schedule a free case evaluation with an accident attorney in San Diego.

How Do You Determine Fault in Multi-Vehicle Collisions?

Since California is a fault state when it comes to auto wreck claims, accident victims must prove the other party’s liability in order to recover compensation as a third-party claimant. Proving fault in a two-vehicle collision can be fairly straightforward; however, when several parties are involved in a single crash, determining—and proving—liability becomes much more complicated.

Fortunately, accident victims do not have to investigate the incident on their own. By hiring a seasoned attorney, they can focus on recovering while their legal counsel gathers evidence of liability. This might include the official police report, photographs of the scene, witness testimony, dash cam footage, surveillance camera footage, and confessions from the guilty parties.

Once a lawyer builds a compelling argument using the kinds of proof mentioned above, the insurance adjuster will consider the strength of the claim. If the evidence ultimately indicates that the policyholder is in fact liable, negotiations will commence.

If you were hurt in a multi-vehicle collision and you’re not sure how to begin building a claim, contact Jeffrey E. Estes & Associates today. We have recovered more than $150 million for our clients in successful settlements and verdicts.

Had an excellent experience with Jeff. He helped me through a personal injury case that I had where I was injured in a car accident. He did an excellent job preparing me for the trial and representing me. His professionalism is top notch and he's genuinely nice and easy to connect with. He was able to win the case for me and got a judgment much higher than I had even imagined which has been absolutely life changing. I would recommend him to everyone looking for services he provides.

I'm very pleased with my representation of Attorney Estes! He represented me in a profession manner, and was able to litigate my case out of court. I would totally recommend Attorney Estes should an accident be involved, especially caused by another person and they have done your bodily harm and totaled your vehicle.

Mr. Estes is both professional and down to earth. He took the time to explain things to me and was always there when I called. I am forever in debt to him for what he did for me winning my automobile accident lawsuit. The compassion that he showed for me made me feel like I was part of his family and I cannot say enough good things about him both as a human being and an attorney.
