Fatal accident claims life of child in Colorado

Almost always, a sudden death is a tragedy. When a young child dies, the situation can be even more heartbreaking. No parent wants to lose a child at any age, and it can be challenging to cope with the fact that another driver caused a fatal accident claim that claimed a child’s life.

It was recently claimed that an accident in Colorado led to such scary results. A pickup truck and an SUV were involved in the accident. The driver at fault of the pickup truck was traveling south when he failed to remain in the correct lane. After drifting into the northbound lanes, his car hit the SUV head-on, causing it to flip entirely over and land on its driver's side. The SUV stopped when it hit a guardrail.

Unfortunately, a child in the SUV, aged 8, suffered fatal injuries and was declared dead at the accident site. A passenger in the vehicle sustained severe injuries, while the driver only suffered minor injuries. The driver of the pickup truck also sustained severe injuries. Authorities have ruled out impairment or speed contributing to the child's fatal accident.

The family of the child killed in this Colorado car accident are undoubtedly heartbroken by the outcome. Any type of fatal accident can be difficult for a family to accept, and this may be one that takes a substantial amount of time to cope with. As they work to handle this event, the family may consider filing a wrongful death claim against the driver considered at fault in efforts to recover monetary damages due to for their loss.
