Fatal Pedestrian Crashes in Stockton and Wrongful Death Claims
California law operates on the legal principle of comparative negligence, which allows for liability in an accident to be divided among multiple parties. While only one of the cars involved appears to have struck the pedestrian, the other may share responsibility for the crash that led to his death.
The family of the pedestrian who lost his life may have grounds to pursue a wrongful death claim against one or both of the drivers involved in this accident. A wrongful death claim can provide compensation for damages including funeral expenses and the loss of support and companionship the deceased provided.
