19-Year-Old Buckhannon Man Killed in Accident on Brushy Fork Road

A 19-year-old Buckhannon man was killed after a two-vehicle collision on Brushy Fork Road in Upshur County early Friday morning. The Upshur County Sheriff's Office is investigating the collision. According to the Upshur County Sheriff's Office, at approximately 4:30 a.m., two vehicles, a 2002 Jeep Liberty and 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier, collided travelling in opposite directions. The passenger in the Cavalier, Nathaniel Beckner, 19, of Buckhannon, died around noon Friday due to injuries sustained in the collision, according to the sheriff's office. Both Upshur County EMS and ESP EMS responded and transported the patients.
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.
