Families who have lost a loved one in a tragic accident are encouraged to file a wrongful death lawsuit against an at-fault driver’s insurance provider. This civil claim prevents the needs of the family through such a difficult time aren’t forgotten.
A wrongful death claim asks for assistance with funeral costs and emergency response fees. The other important thing it does is seek monetary help for the family in the future when they’ll be without the guidance and financial support the victim can no longer provide.
