Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death

After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?

Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.

You are nothing but a young punk. Someday you will get yours. Trust me when I say the good Lord is taking care of Emma now, but he will make sure you will get yours. I'm a friend of the family and would love to get you in my f------king hands for 5 minutes. You wouldn't know what hit you, just like you did to Emma. You are a no good human being for leaving someone to die in the roadway like you did.You are nothing put a PUNK and no attorney you hire will save you. You will pay dearly for you you have done.
