Fatal car accidents can have a significant impact on families, bringing unimaginable grief and challenges. Annually, tens of thousands of individuals lose their lives in the United States due to fatal crashes, affecting many families in our state each year.
The aftermath of losing a loved one in a fatal collision can be overwhelming, both emotionally and financially. Families often find themselves grappling with the burden of funeral expenses, medical bills, and the loss of companionship and services. Following the tragic loss of a family member in a fatal crash, families have the option to pursue a wrongful death claim.
