Pedestrian struck Tuesday along the Ronald Reagan Freeway

SAN FERNANDO, CA, (November 05, 2024) - Antonio Robles, a 48-year-old pedestrian, has been identified as the victim in a tragic accident on the Glenoaks Boulevard off-ramp from the westbound Ronald Reagan Freeway in the San Fernando area.

The accident occurred around 5:45 a.m. on Tuesday.

According to the California Highway Patrol, Robles was struck by a vehicle while on the off-ramp. Despite the quick response from emergency services, he succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner’s office confirmed Robles' identity. The off-ramp was closed temporarily as CHP conducted a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the accident.

PEDESTRIAN ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION 

This tragic accident underscores the dangers that pedestrians face every day in this country.

According to data from the Governors Highway Safety Association, the number of pedestrian fatalities in the United States has grown substantially faster than all other traffic deaths. An estimated 7,342 pedestrian fatalities occurred in 2021, an increase of 13 percent from the previous year. 

“Road conditions, visibility, and lighting are all possible contributing factors considered and examined,” said Candice Bond, a Managing Partner with Bond Legal. 

“An accident reconstruction team is sometimes needed to help piece together what happened. All of these resources are necessary for helping clients receive monetary compensation for damages or a loss following a collision,” said Bond, an experienced pedestrian attorney.

WRONGFUL DEATH CLAIM 

“It is almost always a driver’s duty to yield to any pedestrian,” said Bond. The family of Antonio Robles may be entitled to a wrongful death claim.

“Family members of wrongful death victims may seek damages for loss of income and companionship, pain and suffering, funeral expenses, and emotional distress following a tragic or catastrophic accident,” she added.

Serving as an advocate, an attorney can help compassionately guide a family through this difficult time while protecting their rights.

“Insurance companies often try to pressure victims to settle for a quick payout for far less than the case is worth,” Bond noted. “However, an attorney will vigorously advocate for their client to ensure that they are treated with respect and compensated fairly.”
