Fremont, CA — Two people lost their lives late Wednesday night, December 11, 2024, after their car crashed into a tree and part of a house, according to NBC Bay Area.
The crash occurred around 10:25 PM in the area of Castro Lane and Mission Boulevard.
A BMW sedan was involved in the single-vehicle accident, colliding with a tree and a home. Both occupants of the car, described as adults, were killed instantly, fire officials reported.
While debris from the collision caused damage to the home, no one inside was injured, authorities confirmed.
The identities of the two victims have not yet been released, pending notification of their families. Fremont police and fire personnel are continuing to investigate the cause of the crash.
Single-Vehicle Collisions and Passenger Liability
In some cases, investigations may reveal that even in a single-vehicle accident, nearby drivers or unsafe road features share some responsibility.
California’s Comparative Negligence rule means that, even if those injured in accidents are found partially at fault, they may still be eligible to receive partial compensation for damages. A personal injury attorney can play a critical role in sorting through these details to help victims and their families get the compensation they deserve.
Driver liability insurance covers both those outside the vehicle and passengers inside. While it can be emotionally difficult to file a Wrongful Death claim against someone close to the victim, the financial challenges after an accident can be overwhelming.
A skilled personal injury attorney can help families pursue proper compensation for their loss by handling these legal complexities and negotiating with insurance companies, who always try to reduce payouts on claims they cannot deny.
