3 killed in traffic collision in San Juan Capistrano

Orange County authorities say three people and a dog were killed when two cars collided in San Juan Capistrano. Steve Concialdi says two men in the Ford and a man driving the Honda died at the scene. A man and woman in the back seat of the Honda were taken to a hospital with serious injuries. A dog in the Honda also was killed. The Ford Focus and Honda Accord were traveling in opposite directions and speed may have been a factor in the Thursday night crash.

Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death

After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?

Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
