A 65-year-old driver exclaimed "car won't stop" to her 25-year-old daughter sitting in the passenger seat of an SUV moments before it crashed into the AT&T storefront in Long Island. A 66-year-old woman was pinned under the vehicle. A group of customers and employees worked to lift the vehicle off of the woman to free her. She was taken to a local hospital where she was later pronounced dead. Two others inside the store recieved non-life threatening injuries. The driver and daughter 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.
