The Aftermath of the Deadly Pedestrian Crash on PCH

However, the worst part to consider is when the death was a result of other people’s negligence.
That is why hiring a legal expert to help with a possible wrongful death claim is one of the best decisions one could make now.
Moreover, knowing that each state has laws covering who can file a wrongful death suit on behalf of the deceased is helpful. These people are related to or depend financially on the person who died. The law usually allows the following people to file a wrongful death case:
- Surviving spouses;
- Domestic partners (registered domestic partnership);
- Children of the deceased;
