Reward increased to $6,000 in fatal hit-and-run in Neosho

Neosho Police Chief David Kennedy said Tuesday an anonymous citizen had added $5,000 to the $1,000 already being offered for information. The Neosho Daily News reports police are looking for the drivers of a black Chevrolet Cruze and a light-colored SUV that left sped away from Buck's Bar in Neosho about the time Stevens was hit.
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.
