Teen driver hits, kills KC man walking with his barber tools to give friends free haircuts

Lonzell Davis, 42, had just graduated from a recovery program at Kansas City Rescue Mission, his mom said. There were three people in the silver car that the 16-year-old driver also hit. KANSAS CITY, Mo. '€” A man who had just turned his life around, his mother says, was killed Sunday in East Kansas City by a teen driver who crashed and swerved into the man as he was walking down 34th and Prospect. After going to church, Davis like to go cut people'€™s hair free-of-charge. His mom says he was working at a factory on Front Street. '€œHe'€™d cut everybody'€™s hair and he wouldn'€™t charge people.
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.
