DEALING WITH THE AFTERMATH OF A FATAL COLLISION

The California Office of Traffic Safety’s “Go Safely” campaign advises drivers of the following:

• Follow the posted speed limit.
• Slow down your speed at intersections.
• Give pedestrians the right of way at crosswalks and unmarked corners. Be ready to stop and let those on foot cross.
• Apply extra care in less-than-ideal driving conditions. This may include dark, foggy, or rainy weather.
• Respect all bicyclists. Give cyclists at least three to five feet of room when passing a bike. California law requires drivers to provide a minimum of three feet of space between a vehicle and bicycle.
• If there is not enough space to pass a bicyclist safely, be patient and wait until you can.

Moreover, enduring an unexpected fatal loss can feel impossible to do alone. The silver lining is, you do not have to. Consulting with an experienced attorney who can help you with a possible wrongful death claim is the best thing you can do following the deadly incident much like the traffic accident on Washington Boulevard.
