As everyone knows, an accident can occur at any given time. However, witnessing an accident can still come as an extreme shock, especially if the witnesses know someone involved in the crash. A scene such as that can stay ingrained in a person’s mind for some time. If the incident was a fatal car accident, witnesses may not be able to forget the incident for years to come, if ever.
A Texas man was killed in a car accident while on his way to meet some family members at a restaurant. The man was traveling across the street when his vehicle was hit on the driver’s side by a truck. The driver in the car suffered fatal injuries and was declared dead at the scene. Several of his family members were said to have witnessed the accident as they were waiting on him to arrive at the restaurant.

A Texas Car Accident Attorney can Help Win Financial Compensation
The family members who witnessed the fatal car accident are undoubtedly mentally scarred by the event. Seeing the death of a family member can cause much emotional pain for the young man’s family on top of his untimely death. The family must also face the task of arranging his funeral, which could add a financial strain to their grief of dealing with the horrific accident. Should the driver of the pickup truck be deemed at fault for the accident, the family members may wish to file a wrongful death claim against the driver to gain compensation for their mental turmoil, financial struggles resulting from the accident and any other damages allowed under Texas law.
