Motorcycle Wrongful Death Cases
“My husband was killed in a motorcycle accident caused by another driver who did not see him. It was the other driver’s fault but that does not bring my husband back. Am I entitled to wrongful death compensation from the at-fault driver for the loss of my husband?” This is an all too familiar story that our office hears from grieving family members who have lost a loved one due to the negligence of another driver. While no amount of money will replace your loved one or ease your pain and suffering, monetary compensation from a wrongful death claim can help in several ways.
Ease Your Financial Burden
The compensation that you receive from a wrongful death claim can ease the financial burden placed on you and your family from the loss of a loved one. Many families struggle to pay bills and living expenses without the income from their loved one. A wrongful death claim will compensate you for the lost income from your loved one to help as you continue to recover from this devastating loss and try to rebuild your life.
Hold the Negligent Party Responsible
In many cases, the other driver was somehow negligent in causing the accident that took your loved one too soon. By holding this person accountable for his or her negligent actions, you are sending a clear message to others that this type of behavior will not be tolerated.
Find Some Measure of Closure
A wrongful death action can help bring you some measure of closure as you seek justice for your loved one. It is always very difficult to lose a loved one after a prolonged illness or after they have lived a long and full life. However, when you suddenly lose a loved one due to a preventable accident, the anger you feel because of the accident combines with the grief from the loss. These emotions can be almost impossible to bear. As you seek to find an answer to the question, “Why,” you continue to struggle because there will never be a “good” answer for why your loved one was taken too soon. Seeking justice for your loved one gives you something constructive “to do” and can help ease the overwhelming grief you are experiencing.
Filing a Wrongful Death Lawsuit
You only have a very short window of opportunity to file a wrongful death lawsuit. After the statute of limitations expires, you are barred from seeking compensation from the negligent party for a wrongful death. It is important that you contact a wrongful death attorney as soon as possible to discuss your legal options. While legal action may not be at the top of your priorities right now, it is in your best interest to get the facts now while there is still time to act. Our attorneys can help you get justice for the death of your loved one but you must contact our office now. Take the first step today by scheduling a free consultation.
