Fatal Auto Accidents in North Carolina
Fatal car accidents claim the lives of numerous individuals daily. Annually, in the United States, over 40,000 people lose their lives due to fatal accidents on our roadways. Careless and reckless actions of other drivers often result in instances where lives are tragically cut short. For families coping with the loss of a loved one, there are legal avenues available to help them move forward.
A wrongful death claim is a civil action initiated against a party deemed responsible for causing someone’s death, seeking compensation for the losses experienced by surviving family members. Unlike criminal cases, which focus on punishing offenders, a wrongful death claim prioritizes providing financial relief to the grieving family.
Typically, immediate family members like spouses, children, and parents possess legal standing to file a wrongful death claim. In certain jurisdictions, extended family members or dependents may also qualify. Consulting with a North Carolina wrongful death lawyer is crucial to understanding specific eligibility criteria based on local laws.
