A serious motorcycle accident turned to wrongful death after the rider died shortly after the collision. The motorcycle accident occurred near Kettle Falls at the intersection of U.S. Highway 395 and state Route 20. Authorities say a dump truck crossed into the motorcyclist lane of travel and caused the collision. The motorcyclist was taken to a nearby medical center with serious injuries. However, the motorcyclist, unfortunately, died later from the severity of injuries suffered in the crash. It is unknown if any drugs or alcohol played a factor in this crash according to a news release from Washington State Patrol. The roadway was closed for several hours following the motorcycle accident while crews worked to clear the accident and gather evidence.
When a person is killed due to the negligence of another, including in a car accident, the surviving members of the victim’s family may file a wrongful death claim. Each state legislature has enacted wrongful death statutes that govern who can bring a wrongful death claim. Usually, immediate family members of the deceased seek a wrongful death claim to compensate for financial and emotional damage.
Losing a loved one can often bring a lot of stress and turmoil to family members. Working with a wrongful death attorney can help take away some of the stress and burden. Your attorney will work hard to help the family receive the financial compensation they deserve.
Wrongful death suits can be filed against an individual or a corporation. For example, if a person was killed in a semi truck accident caused by the negligence of the semi truck driver, a wrongful death suit can be brought against the semi trucking company. When such negligence occurs, the responsible party is liable to provide compensation for the death of the victim. An experienced wrongful death attorney will fight to compensate the loss of the victim’s medical expenses, funeral expenses, pain and suffering, future wages, court fees, lawyer fees, and any other related expenses.
Typically, benefits are paid out to the victim’s closest relative such as a spouse, child, or parent. Your wrongful death attorney will work with you to ensure your family receives the full value they are entitled to.
