Winkler County, TX (June 22, 2023) – On June 17, a person sustained injuries, and 24-year-old Andrew Cervantes of La Joya died in a Highway 302 collision.
The investigating officers stated that a 2019 Peterbilt truck with a trailer was eastbound on SH 302. At the same time, a vehicle driven by Cervantes was westbound on the freeway.
Cervantes failed to stay in a single lane and swerved over into the eastbound lanes leading to a collision with the Peterbilt Truck.
Cervantes’s vehicle caught fire and he was declared dead at the scene.
The person injured in this collision was treated and released from Winkler County Hospital.
Sweet Lawyers would like to express our sincere condolences to Andrew Cervantes’s loved ones. May you find strength during this difficult time.
Fatal Vehicle Crash
When a person lost their life due to another person’s negligence or misconduct, the bereaved can sue the negligent parties for the damages that they caused.
Some of the instances that could result in a wrongful death are homicide, medical malpractice, transportation accidents, vehicle collisions, and any other instance caused by the wrongdoing of another person.
In filing for a wrongful death case, there is a time limit on when family members can take legal action.
These restrictions are called the statute of limitations. It only allows the bereaved to file a wrongful death lawsuit within a certain amount of time.
Unfortunately, when these expire, the legal claim is no longer valid and the family of the deceased can no longer file a lawsuit.
Thus, it is important to know and understand these time limitations, as they vary from state to state and case to case.
