SOLANO COUNTY -- A devastating Vallejo accident involving two young boys and a garbage truck occurred after 12:30 p.m. Friday, San Francisco Chronicle reported. The two boys, 8- and 12-years-old, were riding on one skateboard along Chapman Court, when they approached the intersection of Linfield Drive and collided with a Recology Vallejo truck.
Following the crash, the 8-year-old boy, "Clayo" Young, sustained major injuries and was transported to Children's Hospital in Oakland. And the 12-year-old boy, Joseph Tafoya III, was taken to Kaiser Medical Center in Vallejo, where he later died due to his injuries.
Pedestrian Accident Personal Injury and Wrongful Death Liability
In devastating accidents such as this one, where it is unclear who is at fault, the family of the two children would be well-advised to speak to a Northern California pedestrian accident lawyer to discuss their legal rights in either a personal injury or wrongful death claim.
At the law firm of Estey Bomberger, knowledgeable and experienced attorneys can help the family understand and protect their legal rights, hire an independent investigator to reconstruct the scene of the accident to determine who may be responsible, and decide the best course of action to recover the maximum compensation for funeral and burial costs, medical care expenses, pain and suffering, and other related damages in this tragic pedestrian accident.
