This heartbreaking accident has left a family and a community in mourning. While no legal action can ever replace the loss of a loved one, California law does provide paths for families to seek justice and financial support during such devastating times.
Legal Rights After a Fatal Motorcycle Crash
Families of motorcyclists killed in collisions have legal options under California law:
- Wrongful Death Claims (Code of Civil Procedure §377.60): Surviving family members may seek compensation for funeral expenses, lost financial support, and the emotional toll of losing a loved one.
- Civil Code §1714 (Duty of Care): Drivers are legally responsible for using reasonable care on the road. If negligence contributed to the crash, liability may be established.
- Comparative Negligence: Even if fault is shared, families may recover damages proportionate to the other driver’s responsibility.
Passengers injured in the SUV may also have the right to file personal injury claims for medical bills, lost wages, and pain and suffering.
