Driver in fatal Spokane crash arrested
SPOKANE, Wash. — A driver in a fatal crash in Spokane was arrested for possible charges of vehicular homicide and vehicular assault.
Storms raced through the stop sign at Empire and Helena and smashed into Smith’s Ford pickup truck. The collision drove Smith’s pickup into a telephone pole, according to court records. The pole snapped and landed in a nearby yard. Debris littered the intersection. Police said Storms got out of his wrecked vehicle and ran, leaving behind his two passengers: one with nine broken ribs and a collapsed lung, the other with a broken collarbone. Smith, a married father of two, died at the scene. Witnesses helped chase down Storms and he was arrested. In a search of his Honda, police said they found a bag containing methamphetamine.
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.
