Willowbrook, CA (October 20, 2024) – On Sunday night, October 15, 2023, a fatal crash occurred in the Willowbrook area of Los Angeles County, claiming the life of 38-year-old Heriberto Quezada.
Accident Details: The incident occurred around 9:03 p.m. near Central Avenue and 123rd Street, according to the California Highway Patrol (CHP). Quezada was pronounced dead at the scene, as confirmed by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office.
Legal Considerations: As a personal injury attorney, I find that pedestrian accidents often raise questions about the duty of care owed by all drivers to maintain safe speeds, exercise caution, and ensure the safety of those on the roadway. In cases like this one, a thorough investigation will help determine if any factors, such as speeding, impaired driving, or distracted driving, contributed to the crash. To be comprehensive, investigators should also examine the vehicle that hit Quezada and the road conditions to determine if a vehicle malfunction or poor road conditions contributed to the accident.
Wrongful Death Claim: If negligence is found, Quezada’s family may have potential grounds for pursuing a wrongful death claim and recover compensation for their loss. This compensation can include funeral expenses, loss of financial support, and loss of companionship.
My deepest sympathies are with Heriberto Quezada’s family and loved ones during this heartbreaking time.
