GREAT FALLS, Mont. (AP) - Two men were killed in a four-vehicle crash near Fort Benton, including an 88-year-old Great Falls man who started the chain of events by trying to pass a semi-trailer in a no-passing zone. The Montana Highway Patrol says the Great Falls man was southbound on Highway 87 shortly after 5 p.m. The Rudyard man and his female passenger were taken to the hospital in Great Falls, where the man died. His car bounced off the semi and crashed head-on into a pickup driven by a 60-year-old Rudyard man. Officials say the driver of the semi and the occupants in the final car were not injured.

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.
