On the afternoon of April 28, 2013, a car accident occurred
between two vehicles killing three people. The accident occurred Sunday
afternoon in Fort Worth Texas when a Honda Odyssey and Kia Soul collided into
each other at an intersection. The traffic accident took place south of Eagle
Mountain Lake on Highway 1999 around 2 PM.
Apparently, the Kia was traveling northbound on Jacksboro
Highway when it collided with the Honda traveling westbound. Five people were
seated in the Kia. Unfortunately, only two of them survived – the driver and
front seat passenger. The three people located in the back were unable to get
out. Those that perished in the fire were a 15 year-old boy, a woman in her
30’s, and an elderly man. Witnesses endeavored to get the three out, but were
unable to save them.
The two people in the Honda were not seriously injured.
Officials are unsure what the cause of the accident was, whether one of the
vehicles ran a red light. Officials must also investigate further to determine
what caused one of the vehicles to catch on fire. The family in the Kia was
headed to church before the accident.
Determining Liability
in a Car Accident
In certain instances, determining what caused an accident
can be extremely difficult. In the story told above, it is unclear which
vehicle ran the red light. There may not be enough witnesses to determine who
is at fault, or witness accounts may tell different stories.
Unfortunately, determining liability can be challenging, but
is extremely necessary in order to resolve and repair the situation. Those who
are injured may require compensation for medical treatment, expenses, damages,
and lost wages. The person at fault should be held liable for damages and
compensate those involved.
Personal Injury
Attorney
When car accidents are complicated, it is imperative to hire
a personal injury attorney immediately. A personal injury attorney will work to
determine and prove liability. Insurance companies may take advantage of you
and blame the accident on you, holding you accountable for the costs and
expenses. Do not allow this to happen. Contact a personal injury attorney today
to help resolve the situation and earn you the compensation you deserve.
