On May 18, 2022, Juan Pablo Sifuentes was operating his Harley Davidson when the driver of a Toyota Corolla failed to yield right away at an intersection and hit the motorcycle. The accident occurred at the intersection of Alameda Avenue and Gateway north Boulevard.
Mr. Sifuentes was taken to the local hospital, where he died from the injuries received. The police are still investigating the accident.
Dallas Motorcycle Accidents Often Result In Death
Motorcycle accidents are often catastrophic events that lead to serious injuries or the death of motorcyclists. Drivers of motorcycles do not have the same protections as those in a closed passenger vehicle. When a motorcycle accident occurs, the driver often takes the full force of the impact.
Talk With A Dallas Personal Injury Lawyer
The surviving family members of Mr. Sifuentes may have the right to seek wrongful death compensation against the driver of the Carolla. A personal injury lawyer can help the grieving family make a claim.
Why claim compensation for the loss of a loved one? Because the family is suffering enough from their loss, they shouldn’t have to suffer from financial burdens as well. A family needs time to heal from such a significant loss without having to worry about their finances.
If you were “lucky” enough to survive the accident with only a personal injury, you still have rights as a victim to claim compensation. Speak with a personal injury lawyer to find out what types of compensation that you are entitled to for your losses.
