When a person is not careful, for example, if they are driving while under the influence of alcohol or drugs, or if they are distracted while driving, their unsafe driving can cause the death of another person. The family of the person killed suffers a loss that is one of the most traumatic events a family can endure. The family wonders: “How will we pay for the funeral? How will we survive without income?”
After a fatal car accident the heirs are coping with their loss and do not consider hiring an attorney. The time immediately after the death is a critical time in which to take photographs, contact witnesses, and to gather information about the cause of the death. Furthermore, some states have a very short time period in which to bring a wrongful death case. If the wrongful death case is not brought within that time period, it can never be brought.
The most common reason that my clients have given me for bringing a fatal accident case is because, “we want to prevent this from happening to anyone else”. By showing the person who caused the death exactly what the consequences are of his or her actions, we can hopefully prevent a similar tragedy from occurring in the future.
