Fatal Accidents on I-90 in Couer d’Alene

October 4, 2017

Most accidents on Interstate 90 in Couer d’Alene involve high speed impacts. Most crashes involve the rear-ending of a vehicle. In other accidents, people are injured in work zones. There are also sideswipe accidents and accidents involving head on collisions. Head on collisions are rare thanks to dividers (throughout most areas of Couer d’Alene) but do occur in construction zones or when people get on an off ramp. Unfortunately, some of these high speed impacts involve serious injuries and/or fatalities.

What is a wrongful death claim?

Losing a loved one in a fatal car accident is absolutely devastating. A wrongful death claim allows loved ones to pursue financial compensation for “damages” such as physical, emotional and property damages, and it also places responsibility on the party whose careless actions caused the death of your loved one. Damages also include loss of future earnings, funeral expenses, any medical bills, mental anguish and sometimes punitive damages.

A recent crash

As an examplTragically, 2 people were recently killed in an accident in a construction zone on I-90. The accident occurred in September 2017. According to The Spokesman Review, a 41yr old old drove his pickup truck into oncoming traffic, hitting a 75yr old woman driving a car head on.

This is a very recent crash and we have no idea what happened from news briefs. The truck driver could have been distracted, or there may have been inadequate signage in the construction zone. We hope that if this could have been prevented it doesn’t happen again.
