A serious Irvine car accident results in a fatality this afternoon. Several vehicles were involved in the accident at the intersection of MacArthur Boulevard and Campus Driver in Irvine. When firefighters arrived at the scene they found one of the drivers had lost his life in the accident. Two other drivers in the accident suffered injuries as a result of the accident.
Car accidents at intersections can be quite severe. The forces of cars who collide in an intersection often result in serious and sometimes permanent injuries. In this case, the fatal accident took the life of a young driver. My name is Rivers Morrell and after more than 40 years of experience as an injury attorney here in Irvine I can tell you it is important to have an experienced and proven injury attorney. Check out our new animated video “What to Look For in an Injury Attorney” and learn about the importance of successful trial experience and the impact it has upon the settlements offered by insurance companies. An attorney with a successful track record in court is more likely to put the insurance company into a position of risk before a jury. As a result, the insurance companies offer more money knowing that an unfair offer will likely result in a trial they are likely to lose.
Fatal accidents due to the negligence of another driver are known as a “wrongful death” in California. A wrongful death action can be brought by the family or loved ones of the victim of a fatal accident.
