Coroner IDs woman killed in crash in Rosebud County

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — Authorities have released the name of a woman who was killed in a crash in Rosebud County. Coroner Allen Fulton says 71-year-old Florine Taylor, who lived in the Lame Deer area, was a passenger in a car that collided with a tractor-trailer on U.S. Highway 212 on Thursday afternoon. The Billings Gazette reports (http://goo.gl/1yR8zH ) the Montana Highway Patrol has not said what led to the crash, which happened a few miles west of Lame Deer.
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.
