Lancaster, CA (November 27, 2024) – On the evening of November 27, 2024, 25-year-old Nicolas Calle tragically lost his life in a pedestrian accident in Lancaster.
Accident Details: The collision occurred at the intersection of 70th Street East and East Avenue I around 7:10 p.m., according to the California Highway Patrol. Calle was pronounced dead at the scene.
Legal Considerations: As a personal injury attorney, I find that investigators will examine various factors to determine the cause of the accident. Was the driver speeding, distracted, or otherwise negligent? Did poor lighting, missing signage, or other road hazards contribute to the accident? Did the vehicle suffer from a mechanical malfunction?
If the investigation finds that negligence was the cause of the accident, California law allows Calle’s family members to file a wrongful death claim against any responsible party. Under this claim, they could recover funeral expenses and emotional distress.
I offer my deepest condolences to Nicolas Calle’s family and friends during this incredibly difficult time.
