When Police arrived on the scene, the driver and two of the passengers were pronounced dead at the scene.

There are many factors that could lead to a tragedy like this. Whether it be road conditions, weather, or animals crossing the roadway there are many factors that can lead to these situations. Unfortunately, we cannot always prevent car crashes that result in injury or death from happening. If something like this happens to you or someone you know, it is important to understand the proceeding actions to take. First, seek medical attention for those affected immediately. Seeking attention for any physical damages sustained is imperative to not only allow for a safe and speedy recovery, but it can also lead to the proper documentation of any injuries you may have faced. After receiving any medical attention, you may be tempted to file a claim with the insurance agency. Although this may seem like the logical next step, first you should consider hiring an attorney to represent you in your claim. Hiring an attorney who specializes in car crashes can help you to receive the proper compensation for your injuries, both physical and emotional. Insurance agencies are meant to undercut your damages and attempt to get you to settle at the lowest price possible. Negotiating with an insurance agent may seem difficult, especially if it is your first time. Having someone on your side who is skilled in handling insurance agents and can fight for your right to fair and just compensation will benefit you overall. Many times, those involved in the collision and the family members of those involved are looking for answers so they can understand what caused the incident. An Attorney working on your side can help investigate the situation and work towards getting the answers that people are often looking for.
