14 year old dies in truck crash, brother survives.

A Clarksburg mother and father watched helplessly as good samaritans tried to save their son, who was trapped inside a truck after a deadly crash. The 14-year-old would later be found dead, while the 16-year-old driver — his brother — escaped unharmed. It took emergency crews almost 20 minutes to get to the rural area on Teal Road, while good samaritans tried to help the brothers. California Highway Patrol officers haven’t released the identities of the teens, but say they were brothers out hunting together before the deadly accident. CHP officers say it didn’t take much for the driver to lose control of this truck. According to CHP, Clarksburg firefighters would arrive 18 minutes later, but it would be too late. CHP says they currently are unsure if the 14-year-old drowned or died from injuries related to the crash. The cause of the crash is still under investigation.   How can a lawyer help with an auto accident claim? First, having a lawyer on your side levels the playing field.  The person who caused the accident is required to immediately turn the case over to his or her insurance company.  The insurance company uses adjusters and lawyers who are specifically trained to deny or reduce your claim.  This may include denying compensation to family members who are entitled to receive benefits for loss of companionship.
