A DeKalb County 10th grade student severely injured in a car accident over the weekend was taken off of life support on Tuesday.
A DeKalb County 10th grade student severely injured in a car accident over the weekend was taken off of life support on Tuesday. Kaylin Williams, 15, was described by school officials as a model student at Southwest DeKalb High. She had straight As and was poised for an elite cheerleading collegiate scholarship, friends said. Williams was a passenger in a car with two other 10th grade students on Saturday. The trio was returning home in bad weather after a trip to the movies when the car hydroplaned and was t-boned by a truck. The other two occupants of the vehicle were treated and released from the hospital, while Williams was placed on life support.    

 

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.
