Oakland, California (May 9, 2020) – Candace Parks, 8, has been identified as one of the two children who were killed in a multi-car crash that occurred on Thursday morning in Oakland, according to the Alameda County coroner’s office.

According to the police, a Honda Accord, for unknown reasons, lost control and struck a Caltrans truck parked near the center divider. The Honda was then hit by a Toyota minivan.

Parks and a 13-year-old boy, who were passengers in the Honda, were pronounced dead at the scene.

The crash remains under investigation.

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 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.
