Three dead from injuries suffered in wrecks on state roads

Two women killed in a Cotton County turnpike crash Friday were identified, and a man died from injuries suffered in a July wreck, the Oklahoma Highway Patrol reported Sunday. Both women died at the scene, troopers said. Both people on the motorcycle and another passenger in the car died at the scene, troopers said.  
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.
