Two men dead following Iowa police chase crash
A patrol accident report say officers attempted to stop Troy C. Marvin, 31, of Cedar Rapids, after he committed a traffic violation but instead of stopping he fled. Marvin drove his pickup through a Tama street intersection colliding with a car driven by Ian L. Halvorson, 25, of Tama.
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.
