MHP Investigating fatal wreck in Claiborne County
MHP is investigating a fatal car wreck that happened last night.
The single-vehicle crash occurred Friday evening around 10:55 p.m. in Claiborne County. A Chevrolet SUV driven by 24 year-old Kadeem Fleming was heading west on MS 552 near Port Gibson, when the vehicle exited the highway and crashed into a tree. 24-year-old Jarvis Brandon was a passenger in the front seat, and he died at the crash site. Officials say he was not wearing a seatbelt. Fleming was airlifted to UMMC with injuries.
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.
