Wrongful Death Claims
Following the death of a loved one in an accident like this, family members of the deceased may have grounds to file a wrongful death claim with the insurance provider of the at-fault driver. This can secure compensation to help cover medical bills, burial costs, and even loss of support for dependents of the deceased. However, it is always in the interest of an insurance company to offer as small of a payout as possible if they cannot deny the claim entirely, and this is where the services of a knowledgeable personal injury attorney can prove crucial.
