What Families Ask After a Deadly Two-Vehicle Crash in San Diego County

The California Office of Traffic Safety reported 4,061 traffic fatalities in California in 2023, down from 4,539 in 2022.

Who can be held responsible for a deadly two-vehicle crash in California?

Possibly either driver, an employer if a driver was working, or another party whose conduct contributed. No cause has been confirmed in this crash.

Can I still recover if the CHP has not said who caused the crash?

Possibly. California's pure comparative fault rule lets a person recover even when partly at fault, with damages reduced by their share.

Can the family file a claim if someone died in the crash?

Yes. Certain family members and heirs may file a wrongful death claim (CCP 377.60), and the estate may bring the victim's own survival claim.

How long do I have to file a claim in California?

Two years under CCP 335.1, which is November 4, 2028 for injuries from this crash. A death claim runs two years from the date of death.

What should I do first after a deadly crash?

Get checked by a doctor even without pain, and ask the CHP for the collision report number. Ask that the vehicles not be released or salvaged until they are examined.
