SAN JOSE WOMAN KILLED BY RECKLESS DRIVER

Wrongful death lawsuits can be brought by families of the deceased for medical mistakes, car accidents, criminal attacks, work related exposure to dangerous conditions or substances or death during a supervised activity. In wrongful death suits families may be able to recover damages that include what the deceased may have contributed in terms of financial support, loss of love, or companionship, loss of prospective inheritance and in some jurisdictions, possibly even pain and suffering.

On January 19, 2009, nineteen year old Richard Delgado drove into and killed a 46 year old woman in San Jose. It was reported that Mr. Delgado drove his car into the fence of a house in his neighborhood. He got out of his car and began arguing with the neighbors. He then went back to his house, got into another car and drove into the woman. Mr. Delgado is known in the neighborhood for driving recklessly. He has been arrested on suspicion of murder.

In an unrelated incident on Monday, January 19, 2009, an eighty year old woman, Quy Tran, was struck in a hit and run accident. Ms. Tran was crossing Senter Road at Independence Drive when she was hit. The driver got out of the car, dragged Ms. Tran out of the roadway and then drove away. Ms. Tran is listed as in critical condition.
