Fatal Auto Accidents in North Carolina
Fatal accidents can be incredibly challenging for families to deal with. Unfortunately, more than 100 people die every month as a result of automobile accidents in our state. These accidents are often preventable. However, innocent people continue to suffer fatal injuries in crashes that are caused by drivers who are reckless.
When drivers are speeding, impaired by alcohol or drugs, fail to yield, or engage in other acts of negligence, they directly place the lives of everyone else sharing the road at risk. Unfortunately, many accidents leave families completely torn apart.
After experiencing the loss of a loved one in a fatal accident, your family can file a wrongful death claim against the responsible party to get compensation for the losses and damages you face. This can include recovering compensation for your funeral costs, burial expenses, lost earnings, and more. It is crucial to seek guidance from a wrongful death lawyer right away. Your attorney will be able to get started on helping you pursue legal action so you have the best chance of getting justice.
In South Carolina, awards for damages are based on the comparative negligence doctrine. This law states that families have the ability to recover compensation for any losses and damages caused by the negligence of another person. Even if their loved one is found to be at fault in some way for the accident, they are able to get compensation for the losses and damages that they were not responsible for.
