MULTI-VEHICLE ACCIDENT AT VAN NUYS AIRPORT RESULTS IN LOSS OF LIFE A tragic car accident occurred just outside of the Van Nuys Airport when three vehicles were involved in a collision on West Vanowen Street. One motorist suffered injuries while another died in the crash. The victim who lost his life was pronounced dead at the scene after firefighters worked to free the motorist from a vehicle, according to CBS 9 news. Another individual was transported to the hospital after being able to get out of the vehicles. The cause of this tragic car accident was still under investigation as of the time of this posting. Deepest condolences go out to the family and friends of the victim who lost their life in this awful accident. Losing a loved one in a preventable accident is a traumatic, devastating experience. The emotional trauma from the sudden loss can be downright unbearable, and the financial burden can be equally difficult. If the careless or reckless actions of another individual contributed to the fatal accident you may be able to file a wrongful death claim. State law governs which individuals are allowed to file a wrongful death lawsuit after someone is killed in a preventable accident. Pursuant to California law, the following individuals are empowered to pursue legal action when a loved one dies in an accident:      Surviving spouse; Surviving domestic partner; Surviving children Decedent’s parents Decedent’s siblings Financial Restitution for the Death of a Loved One It is possible to pursue multiple forms of financial restitution in the aftermath of a fatal accident of a loved one. In most instances, a surviving family member can pursue the following types of losses through a wrongful death lawsuit:

2. Medical expenses incurred during the decedent’s final injury or illness Funeral expenses Burial expenses Loss of anticipated income that would have been earned by the decedent Value of other household contributions Loss of companionship and emotional support provided by the decedent       If you have questions about your legal options in taking action on behalf of a deceased loved one, take action by scheduling a free, confidential case review with an experienced personal injury attorney in Los Angeles, at the Law Office of Ramtin Sadighim, as we can help in analyzing your potential case and guiding you through the complexities of the wrongful death claims process. Statute of Limitations It is important to take legal action sooner rather than later. Why? Because claimants do not have an infinite amount of time to file a wrongful death action. For example, pursuant to California law, there is a statutory limitation placed on the amount of time you have to file a wrongful death lawsuit in the wake of an accident. In most instances, you only have two years to file lawsuit, where the statute of limitations begins to run on the day the accident occurred.
