Prince George's County Activist Killed in Car Crash

Businessman and Prince George's County community activist Gregory Hall died Monday after a car crash in Capitol Heights, Maryland. Hall, 45, was driving on the 8700 block of Walker Mill Road about 2:50 a.m. when an SUV smashed into his car, Prince George's County police said. According to a preliminary investigation, a driver in an SUV headed eastbound veered into oncoming traffic, striking Hall's westbound car head on. Hall was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash. Anyone with information on the crash is asked to call police at 301-731-4422.
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.
