When someone has been hurt in a pedestrian accident, the injuries are usually serious and sometimes fatal. It is critically important for a victim of a pedestrian accident to get accurate information about their rights and options. And after a fatal pedestrian accident, family members need to learn what steps to take immediately to support a claim and obtain full compensation for their losses.
Since the laws related to pedestrian accidents are complicated and these types of claims can be challenging, it is crucial to talk with an experienced injury attorney.
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.
