RESEDA, CA, (November 07, 2024) - A Thursday morning accident involving two vehicles in Reseda claimed the life of one person and left two others, including a good samaritan, injured.
Fernando Zambrano lost his life Thursday morning in a car accident along West Sherman Way in Reseda.
According to the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD), two vehicles heading eastbound in the 19600 block of West Sherman Way left the roadway and slammed into multiple trees around 8:30 a.m.
A 19-year-old man, identified as Fernando Zambrano, was tragically declared deceased at the site of the crash.
A 34-year-old man was extricated from his vehicle and taken to a local hospital with critical injuries.
A bystander who attempted to help at the scene was hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries.
CRASH INVESTIGATION
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 42,915 people lost their lives in motor vehicle crashes in the United States in 2021, an increase of over 10 percent from 2020.
“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal.
“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” said Bond, an experienced auto accident attorney.
WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM
Pending the results of any investigations, the family of Fernando Zambrano may pursue a wrongful death claim. Survivors of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of companionship, pain and suffering, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident such as this.
Bond, a national legal analyst for Newsline, said, “Grieving families of victims are sometimes overwhelmed by the legal processes that are in place to protect their rights. An attorney can be a valuable and compassionate resource to help guide a family during difficult times and ensure that those left behind receive the restitution they are entitled to.”
“No amount of money is enough for a victim or their family to deal with the trauma and pain they experienced after a catastrophic crash. However, an attorney can help ease the financial burden and provide a path forward,” Bond stated.
