This Vacaville car accident remains under investigation and it is unclear if drugs or alcohol were a factor. Although further details of this fatal California injury accident, it appears that excessive speed may have been the primary cause of the crash. Even though he is deceased, the driver, his estate, and his insurance company are legally responsible for the medical bills, lost income and pain and suffering of the passengers.

Because the injuries in this case are so serious, and the medical expenses likely astronomical, the driver’s insurance probably does not have coverage in high enough amount to cover all of the losses. In this situation, the driver’s policy limit is usually divided up amongst the injured parties in proportion to their injuries and damages. Because one or more parties are likely to retain an attorney, it is in the best interest of each injured party to have their own attorney so that their rights and interests are adequately protected. There may be additional sources of recovery, including uninsured motorist policies, that a good California personal injury will explore.
