Fatal accident in Louisiana could be wrongful death

On Behalf of | Apr 4, 2013 | Wrongful Death

When someone loses a loved one in a tragic and unexpected way, such as a fatal car or truck accident, they might be left with many questions. Why did the accident happen? Who is to blame? Could anything more have been done? These questions might be difficult to answer, but it is important for a family to understand the answers to these questions.

Earlier this week, a two vehicle truck accident resulted in the death of a passenger. A truck turned in front of the vehicle the victim was riding in, resulting in the crash. The person that is accused of causing the accident was charged with failure to yield. While this criminal charge may help establish whether the person caused the accident, it does little to help the family of the victim.

A family of a fatal accident victim might have questions not only about the accident, but also about their future. If the person who was killed in the accident was a primary income earner for the family, or substantially supported the family, they might soon suffer from financial hardship. While life insurance or other forms of compensation may help the family in the short term, their long-term financial goals might be compromised.

An experienced personal injury attorney can help a family who loses a loved one in a fatal Louisiana accident understand their rights and work to seek compensation for the loss of their loved one. While compensation can’t undo an accident, it can help the family establish a secure financial plan for their future.
