A 31-year-old Inkster woman has been charged in connection with a fatal crash on I-94 that killed two motorcyclists. The accident happened around 2:35 p.m. when Woods lost control of her SUV on I-94 near Oakwood Boulevard in Allen Park.

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.
