Each year, many people are injured and killed in car, truck and motorcycle crashes caused by a negligent driver. “Negligence” means the other driver causing the injury did not exercise reasonable care. Driving too fast, not paying attention and disobeying traffic signals are examples of negligence. Getting “rear-ended” while stopped at a red light is negligence.
In some cases, people are injured when the other driver engages in intentional conduct. Deliberately ramming someone with a motor vehicle is intentional conduct. “Road rage” is another form of unlawful intentional conduct.
Still others are injured due to defective motor vehicles. Defective tires or defective repairs are examples of injuries due to a defective vehicle.

If a person is wrongfully killed due to someone else’s negligence, in a car accident for example, the family of the decedent can file a lawsuit against the person who negligently caused the death.
The family may be able to recover funeral expenses, lost income and loss of companionship and comfort.
There is a statute of limitations for the filing of wrongful death claim and if the statute expires the family may lose its claim.
An experienced attorney can explain the law regarding wrongful death and any compensation to which the family may be entitled.
