Killed in Pedestrian Crash

Unfortunately, untimely death due to another person’s negligence is becoming rampant.

Thus, knowing that when a person dies or is killed due to another’s negligence or misconduct, the bereaved can sue the negligent parties for the damages that they caused.

Some of the situations that could result in a wrongful death are homicide, transportation accidents, and pedestrian collisions. However, there are still other situations in which a person can die because of another person’s negligence.

One of the benefits of filing a wrongful death claim is that the economic and non-economic damages are taken into consideration.
