Losing Someone Dear in a Traffic Accident

It is normal for someone to feel devastated when an unexpected tragedy like this one happened. That is why it is important to know that if we lost a dear one in an accident much like the fatal pedestrian crash on 170 Freeway, we may recover damages through a wrongful death suit.

A wrongful death suit allows families to hold parties liable for the irrevocable damages they have caused. It is a civil action brought forth by relatives of a deceased victim whose death was caused by another person’s negligence.

One of its benefits is that it alleviates most or all of the financial burden the death of a relative has generated.
