Car accidents are a common cause of wrongful death. If a family member dies due to a negligent or reckless driver, you have the right to file a wrongful death suit. Although the passing of a loved one can be quite traumatizing, you should strongly consider taking legal action against whoever is at fault. In addition to a significant settlement, if your lawsuit is successful you may also receive compensation for medical bills, loss of wages, and funeral, and burial expenses.
For a wrongful death suit to succeed there must be:
- A reckless or negligent driver responsible for causing the accident, or a car manufacturer responsible for a defective or poorly made vehicle
- Adequate insurance or assets to provide compensation
If someone you love was killed in a car accident and you believe that another party is responsible, contact a Seattle car accident attorney at Dean Standish Perkins and Associates.
