Your Lovedone
Has Been Killed In A Car Accident!
You get that devastating phone call. Your loved one has been killed in a car accident. No one plans for things like this. It happens unexpectedly and can truly emotionally scar you. When your loved one is killed at the hands of a negligent driver, it is tragic. It was not their fault. It’s important to know when you can make a wrongful death claim as well as how the process works.
When Can You Make A Claim? Your loved one was killed in a car accident. You will be able to make a claim when their death was due to either negligence or intentional harm. You must be able to prove that the driver specifically was the cause of the accident that resulted in the death of your loved one. This could either be a sudden death where the driver dies instantly, usually from getting hit by a large vehicle or a high-speed crash. Or it could be an eventual death, where the injuries they sustained in the accident ultimately lead to their death later on. You should be able to prove that the deceased is survived by their children, spouse, or other dependents or beneficiaries such as foster children.
How Does It Work? You have a right to bring a wrongful death claim if you are the spouse, children, or other dependents to the deceased. You can also pursue a claim if you are the parent of the deceased. While this is true, the personal representative of the state may also file suit on behalf of the surviving family members. You must be able to prove that the driver caused death to your loved one whether the deceased was the driver, passenger, or pedestrian. The driver can be responsible if they directly or indirectly caused the accident. For example, they swerved into your loved one’s car causing their death trying to avoid a pothole.
No one’s ever prepared for the untimely death of their loved one. This is a very emotional and touchy subject. You’re probably filled with anger and frustration toward the driver who killed your loved one. The death of your loved one matters and you deserve to have someone else help with that burden. It doesn’t change the fact they’ve gone but it can help you. You want someone who is an expert in fatal car accident law and can help your case.
