A 5-year-old Everett boy who died after being struck by a car last week has been identified as Kenneth E. Heagy.

On Friday, March 20 in Everett, a 74-year-old driver was stopped at a crosswalk in the 2400 block of Colby Avenue at around 7:50 p.m. to let pedestrians cross. As he began to drive again, a 5-year-old boy exited a parked car and ran across the street in front of him, where he was struck. The boy was brought to Providence Medical Center in serious condition, and later transported to Harborview Medical Center, where he died on Sunday.

What money damages are recoverable in a death claim?

Every death from an accident is tragic. When a death is the result of someone else’s negligence, certain survivors may make a wrongful death claim against those responsible. Close relatives may recover monetary damages for the loss of financial support, as well as for medical, funeral, and burial expenses, lost earnings, and in some cases for pain, suffering, and loss of love and affection. Learn more about Everett pedestrian injury claims here…
