Santa Clara County, California (March 24, 2020) – Authorities are investigating the cause of a traffic crash that killed one person early Tuesday morning on southbound Highway 17 in Los Gatos, Santa Clara County.

At around 2:55 a.m., the California Highway Patrol officers received a report about a traffic accident involving several vehicles just south of the South Santa Cruz Avenue on-ramp to southbound Highway 17.

One person was pronounced dead at the scene. The name of the victim has not been disclosed pending notification of family.

Managing Partner and CEO Alpine Law Group, Mr. Arin Khodaverdian believes that car accident claims are rarely straightforward regardless of the circumstances involved. “Liable insurance companies will often do everything possible to limit their out-of-pocket expenses by either devaluing or outright denying your claim and it is crucial, therefore, to have an experienced attorney on your side,” He said.

Mr. Khodaverdian encourages victims and their family members to seek legal help as soon as possible in order to preserve their rights to the full extent of the law.

Mr. Khodaverdian has worked for many years as a wrongful death and personal injury attorney. He and his team of attorneys has helped thousands of injury victims and their families recover over $100 million in compensation. “In one case, we recovered a 7-figure settlement within 11 business days of being hired by the family of a victim who was killed by a negligent driver.”

Swift action by an experienced attorney helps preserve evidence, interview witnesses, and begin to pursue those responsible for the incident.
