An Omak man faces a vehicular homicide charge after an ATV accident Saturday night that left his passenger dead. The victim, Charity R. Rumbolz, 24, of Omak, was found dead early today in Conconully Lake. Cain M. Bivins, 33, was booked into the Okanogan County Jail. Alcohol was a factor in the accident. Bivins was driving the ATV on Sinlahekin Road along the upper reservoir of Conconully Lake when he lost control on a sharp corner. The ATV went over a 100-foot cliff and into the water. Bivins was ejected but Rumbolz, who was wearing a seat belt, sunk with the ATV in about 30 feet of water. Rescue crews and divers found the ATV around 1 a.m. Rumbolz was pronounced dead at the scene. The ATV was one of several in a party headed to Fish Lake. When the group got to Fish Lake, they realized the one with Bivins and Rumbolz was missing. They went back and found Bivins standing in the road soaking wet. Sheriff’s deputies and emergency response personnel responded about 9:10 p.m. Bivins first was transported to Mid-Valley Hospital before he was taken to jail.

What money damages are recoverable in a death claim? Every death from an accident is tragic. When a death is the result of someone else’s negligence, certain survivors may make a wrongful death claim against those responsible. Close relatives may recover monetary damages for the loss of financial support, as well as for medical, funeral, and burial expenses, lost earnings, and in some cases for pain, suffering, and loss of love and affection. Learn more about wrongful death claims here…
