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.

I stopped riding after 40
I stopped riding after 40 years on the road. Too dangerous now, especially with the impaired drivers and all the illegals driving without a license or insurance. I've lost too many friends, or seen them become amputees or bed-ridden.
There is a reason they are called Donorcycles.
