26 year-old Jose Nestor Sanchez, a resident of South Gate, was a passenger in a vehicle driving northbound on El Evado Road south of Mojave Drive in the city of Victorville, when for an unreason, the driver lost control of the vehicle and it rolled multiple times. The San Bernardino County Fire Department confirmed the Sanchez dead of his injuries on-scene at 3:38 AM. An autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death. San Bernardino County Sheriff Department is investigating the accident.

Cause of the Victorville  Crash

As a passenger, the deceased likely could have done nothing to prevent this fatal  collision that ultimately took his life. The Victorville Police Department will surely look at the speed of the vehicle, witness reports, and other factors to determine what occurred and who was responsible. Collisions such as this one can have countless causes, including unsafe passing maneuvers, swerving to avoid an object in the road, falling asleep at the wheel, driving under the influence, or driver distraction.

Automobile Collisions and Wrongful Death Liability

While the accident May 29 remains under investigation, the  family members of the victim would be well-advised to seek immediate consultation from an experienced wrongful death lawyer. An experienced attorney can advise the victims of their legal rights and decide the best course of action in recovering the maximum compensation for their injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Also, in unique and complex situations such as this one, an attorney can hire a highly skilled independent investigator to reconstruct the scene of the accident to determine who is at fault.

The term “wrongful death” is defined as the death of an individual as a result of the negligence, carelessness, intentional act of another individual, corporation, company or entity.  Filing a proper wrongful death claim is extremely difficult and complex for families because they are not only dealing with their grief over the death of a beloved family member, but also complex issues of compensation as well.  Wrongful death claims are usually sought after by relatives, siblings, or members of the decedent’s estate who have lost a considerable amount of money as well as loss of support and grief due to the wrongful death of the decedent.

In most states, if the death of a relative or spouse was caused by the wrongful act of another, surviving family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent party or parties.  In order to file a wrongful death claim, you must be able to prove that you will experience severe future emotional and financial hardship because of the loss of the death of a relative, family member or spouse.
