Fatal crashes can have far-reaching and devastating consequences. Unfortunately, thousands of individuals lose their lives annually due to such incidents in the United States, impacting numerous families within our state alone.
Dealing with the loss of a loved one brings with it unimaginable challenges, which include both emotional and financial struggles.

Additionally, the loss may extend to companionship and various services.
Following the tragic death of a loved one in a fatal crash, families retain the option to file a wrongful death claim. To pursue a successful claim, it becomes crucial to establish negligence. This requires demonstrating that the defendant had a duty of care toward your loved one, breached it, leading to the fatal collision, and resulted in damages for you.
