On Sunday, March 8, Rosita Davila was killed in a tragic rollover accident in San Antonio, TX. Witness reports state that Davila was on Loop 1604 when off-duty police officer Gabe Trevino attempted to merge onto the freeway, crashing into Davila. According to the police report, Sergeant Trevino was at fault for failing to yield right of way but that Davila failed to take proper "evasive action."
Losing a family member is a terrible tragedy. It is particularly devastating when negligent parties try to avoid responsibility by pinning the blame on the victim. When such a loss is caused by another party's negligence, family members may wish to sue for wrongful death. I wish I could say that this is a simple process, but in my experience, both individuals and organizations will do everything they can to avoid accepting responsibility for an accident -- even if that involves blaming the victim. But the truth is this: the law is on your side, and with the help of an experienced wrongful death attorney, those responsible for your loved one's death can be brought to justice.
