Liability and Wrongful Death Claims
Readers should be aware that any claims of liability from a news outlet or even police report are simply opinions given based on initial findings. Legal liability depends upon multiple factors, and partial liability may be allocated to more than one cause in an accident. Liability is also not dependent upon whether or not criminal charges are levied in a particular case, and victims need not wait until criminal proceedings are complete before pursuing compensation.
While no amount of money can replace those we love who lost their lives in a vehicular accident, the emotional cost of death often accompanies a financial burden in the form of medical bills, burial fees, and the loss of income to support dependents of the deceased. Those who find themselves overwhelmed by these unexpected expenses may feel their only option is a public fundraising website may also have the option to pursue a Wrongful Death Claim with the at-fault parties in their loved one’s death.
To navigate these issues, grieving families should consider the assistance of a knowledgeable personal injury attorney who can handle these matters on their behalf and negotiate with insurance companies to seek proper compensation for their loss.
