Eric Zentner, 30, who worked with Versace and appeared in Katy Perry’s Hot’n’Cold video was killed in an accident early Saturday morning around 3:45am. The model who was discovered at age 19 at a Red Robin Restaurant, ran out of gas along a California freeway and was walking on the highway to a farmhouse nearby to get assistance. According to the E Online, an oncoming vehicle struck and killed the model then fled from the scene. The California Highway Patrol is looking for a 90’s model light blue dodge Caravan.
Traffic collisions account for the majority of accidental deaths in the US. When a person is killed in an accident their families not only suffer from grief, but may face financial difficulties. Care of the individual before death or funeral expenses can quickly accumulate. Should the decedent be the primary provider, their families will continue to suffer economically long after their death but an accident attorney can fight to get compensation and ease their economic distress. Obtaining money from negligent parties can’t eliminate the grief of losing a loved one but it can offer monetary comfort.
People who aren’t killed in a traffic accident are fortunate to be alive but face a different struggle. Injuries can be very serious and even result in long term disability, for which representation of an accident attorney can secure future funds to help them through troubled times. In the courts, accident lawyers work to make careless individuals pay for the mistakes that injure others.
