A fatal Huntington Beach DUI accident results in three wrongful deaths and serious injuries to a fourth as police continue to investigate. A white Hyundai Sonata driven by a San Clemente woman plowed into the back of a red Toyota carrying 4 teens from Las Vegas enjoying spring break here in Southern California. Tragically, 3 of the teens died at the scene of the accident while the fourth was transported to an area hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the white Hyundai was arrested and charged with suspicion of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated and driving dunk causing bodily injury, according to Huntington Beach police Officer Angela Bennett.
After more than 40 years of work as a personal injury injury attorney in Huntington Beach and all of Orange County I am still shocked by the number of people who pass away each year at the hands of a drunk driver. The families of these teens must deal with the sudden, catastrophic loss of their loved one in such a senseless manner. They will also need to bring a wrongful death lawsuit against the driver of the Hyundai who caused this tragic and fatal car accident.
My job in these cases is to remove as much of the burden as possible from the family’s shoulders, while aggressively pursuing all avenues of financial recovery for their loss. Hopefully the driver of the Hyundai carries substantial insurance. In some cases, it may be necessary to turn to the family’s own UM/UIM insurance to compensate for those who have no insurance or who carry the state minimum. I handle all of the legal and insurance work, which allows the family to focus upon one another and supporting each other through this unimaginably difficult time.
A fatal Huntington Beach DUI accident results in three wrongful deaths and serious injuries to a fourth victim and the lives of five families are forever changed.
