One Killed In Fallbrook Car Accident
Angela Dawn Mendez, 33, was killed in a fatal San Diego County car accident that occurred on November 20, 2010, around 4:30 p.m. According to authorities, Mendez was killed when her SUV swerved off Interstate 15 in Fallbrook in North County San Diego and rolled down an embankment.
According to the San Diego County Medical Examiner's Office, Mendez’s vehicle rolled over several times as it went down an embankment before it came to rest on a service road. Paramedics pronounced Mendez dead at the auto accident scene. The exact cause of this fatal car accident remains under investigation.
Unfortunately, it is unclear from the facts of the story why the accident occurred. There is a possibility that the accident may have been the result of a mechanical defect or design issue pertaining to her SUV. It could have also been the result of an uneven road surface. Regardless of the facts, the victims’ families should consult with a personal injury attorney in San Diego who can investigate and hire a trained private investigator to learn how the auto accident occurred and to determine if there are any facts which would suggest that the auto accident was the cause of someone else’s negligence. The victim’s family may be entitled for compensation to cover the cost of funeral and burial, loss of anticipated earnings of the deceased, loss of love and compassion, and other accident related damages.
