What Follows For the Parties Involved in this Fatal Accident

In a time where an unexpected tragedy befalls such as this one, you may be left feeling powerless. As common of an occurrence as they are, many people do not suspect what follows in the event of a car crash.

In the case of death, it is crucial that the family of the victim become aware of their rights under the law.  This means that there may be a right to file a lawsuit against the person, person’s, or company responsible for the loss of their loved one. Those closest to the victim may have the right to seek compensation for their loss; some common examples include funeral expenses, medical bills and what is called “loss of consortium.” Loss of consortium generally means the deprivation of future affection and companionship over an untimely death.
