What Should the Bereaved in the Bicycle Crash on Foothill Expressway?

The benefit of getting yourself a wrongful death attorney is that they will help you get compensation for the economic and non-economic damages incurred due to the death.

It will only allow you to file a wrongful death lawsuit within a certain time. When these expire, the legal claim is no longer valid. Thus, the loved ones can no longer file a lawsuit.
