Dealing With Fatal Hit-And-Runs

In the case of wrongful death, it is crucial that the family are aware of their rights under the law. There may have the right to file a lawsuit against the people responsible for the loss of their loved one. Those closest to the victim may have the right to seek compensation for their loss. This includes funeral expenses, medical bills, and the “loss of consortium”.  Generally, loss of consortium means the deprivation of future affection and companionship over an untimely death.

The last thing most families want to deal with is piles of paperwork, questions from insurance companies or defense attorneys, and attempting to obtain police reports.
