Losing Someone in a Traffic Accident Is Devastating
It is clear now more than ever that one person’s negligence can have devastating effects on other individuals. This is quite common in accidents similar to the pedestrian crash on Highway 259 that resulted in death. It is indeed necessary that the loved ones of the deceased become aware that they have the authority to file a wrongful death suit.
A wrongful death claim is a claim brought against a defendant who has caused someone’s death, either through negligence or as a result of some intentional action.

“The aftermath of tragic accidents can make everything difficult for a family. The last thing most families want to deal with is piles of paperwork, questions from insurance companies or defense attorneys, and attempts to obtain police reports. Grieving and handling legal claims don’t exactly go hand in hand. However, having legal representation after such a traumatic event will provide your family the space to heal while ensuring that justice is brought to your loved one.”
