Tragedy on the Road: Finding a Way Forward for Families

Understanding Who Is at Fault

Fatal car accidents can occur due to various factors, including:

Driver negligence: This can include reckless driving, speeding, distracted driving, driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, and other forms of negligent behavior.
Poor road conditions: Hazardous road conditions such as potholes, lack of signage, and poorly maintained roads can contribute to accidents.
Vehicle defects: Malfunctions in the vehicle's components, such as brakes, tires, or steering systems, can lead to catastrophic accidents.
Environmental factors: Adverse weather conditions like rain, snow, ice, fog, or high winds can increase the risk of accidents.

In each of these cases, an individual, a company, or a city/county may be liable for an accident. We can investigate exactly who may be at fault for this tragedy.
