Personal Injury Lawyer: Discusses Sudbury Fatal Accident

There are reports of a fatal accident that occurred on Lasalle Extension, between Frood Road and Municipal Road 35 in Sudbury.  Sadly, one person is dead following this February 23, 2013 accident. 

According to early reports, an eastbound car and a westbound SUV collided around 8:40 p.m.  A young man, age 22, was driving the car, and has died as a result of his injuries.   The driver of the SUV and his passenger received serious injuries and were being treated at hospital.  The Police were investigating the circumstances for the accident, and the road was closed in the area of the collision.

First and foremost, we offer our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the young man who died as a result of this Sudbury head on collision.  We also hope that the other injured people make a complete and quick recovery.  

Head-on car accidents are among the most devastating accidents in Ontario. Although there can be countless causes for Ontario head-on accidents, among the leading cause is distracted driving. When a vehicle crosses the centre line, head-on collisions can result in catastrophic injuries and death as is the case in this recent tragedy.  The family of the young man killed in this head on accident may be able to advance insurance claims for their loss.   Additionally, the injured occupants of the other vehicle, will also be able to advance claims.  

In addition to no-fault insurance benefits payable after a car accident, there may also be a civil claim against the at-fault driver.  These claims are also typically paid for by insurance.  More information would be needed in order to identify which vehicle caused this head-on crash.
