Maria Trujillo died in a car accident in DeKalb, Texas. Hiliberto Gonzalez died in the crash as well. The unfortunate incident occurred on July 10, 2016. We would anticipate that this case may result in a wrongful death lawsuit, especially once the investigation is complete.
According to reports, Gonzalez was driving on Highway 82 with Trujillo as his passenger when he drove off of the road. He then attempted to get back on the roadway but overturned his wheel allegedly causing him to veer across lanes and crash into a tree. Trujillo, the passenger, died and Gonzalez died as a result of the extreme injuries they sustained. Our hearts and deepest sympathies go out to the friends and families of Trujillo and Gonzalez.
What was the cause of the accident? Was anyone distracted or under the influence? Are there any other factors missing from this report?
It is always sad to hear about car collisions, and this accident is equally as sad. The roads are always a place where unpredictable moments take place. That is why driving safely is so important.
Although the police are doing their own investigating, they cannot always be fully relied upon. There are some questions that may still need answers and some actions that may need explanations. Personal injury lawyers do not always rely on the police reports. They often hire private investigators to find the answers to additional questions. Investigators often obtain helpful information that is not included in the police report, information that family members sometimes want to know.
The facts of this case may support a wrongful death lawsuit. The Weaver Law Firm understands that family and friends may have plenty of questions regarding wrongful death lawsuits.
