YOUR LOVED-ONE HAS BEEN KILLED IN A CAR ACCIDENT

• You get that devastating phone call. Your loved
  one has been killed in a car accident. No one
  plans for things like this. It happens
  unexpectedly and can truly emotionally scar you.
  Many Americans have gotten into an accident
  during their lifetime. When your loved one is
  killed at the hands of a negligence driver, it is
  tragic. It was not their fault. Its important to
  know when you can make a wrongful death claim as
  well as how the the process works.

WHEN CAN YOU MAKE A CLAIM?

• Your loved one was killed in a car accident. You
  will be able to make a claim when their death was
  due to either negligence or intentional harm. For
  example, if the person driving was speeding when
  they hit and caused the death of your loved one,
  then that is considered negligent. If the person
  driving intentionally tried to rear end your
  loved ones vehicle because they wanted them to
  move faster and it caused them to get in an
  accident and die, then the driver can sued for
  causing intentional harm.

• You must be able to prove that the driver
  specifically was the cause of the accident that
  resulted in the death of your loved one. This
  could either be a sudden death where the driver
  dies on the spot, usually from getting hit by a
  large vehicle or a high speed crash. Or it could
  be an eventual death, where the injuries they
  sustained from the accident ultimately lead to
  their death later on. You should be able to prove
  that the deceased is survived by their children,
  spouse, or other dependents or beneficiaries such
  as foster children.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

• As mentioned previously, you have a right to
  bring a claim if you are the spouse, children, or
  other dependents to the deceased. You also can
  bring claim if you are the parent of the
  deceased. While this is true, The personal
  representative of the state may also file suit on
  behalf of the surviving family members. You must
  be able to prove that the driver caused death to
  your loved one whether the deceased was another
  driver, passenger, or pedestrian. The driver can
  be responsible if they directly or indirectly
  caused the accident.

• No ones ever prepared for the untimely death of
  their loved one. You planned on continuing to see
  them. This is a very emotional and touchy
  subject. Youre probably filled with anger and
  frustration toward the driver who killed your
  loved one. The death of your loved one matters
  and you deserve to have someone else help with
  that burden. It doesnt change the fact theyre
  gone but it can help you.
