What Steps to Take After Your Loved One Dies in a Car Accident
In an accident like this, where the victim lost their life, it becomes the family’s responsibility to get justice. That starts with getting all of the information possible. If there is any dispute over fault in the incident, seek legal counsel to help you navigate the investigation more fully.
From there, the victim’s family or the estate’s personal representative will need to file a wrongful death lawsuit against those at fault. Police will pursue criminal charges, but families must seek legal action through civil lawsuits to hold those at fault accountable.
This can be a challenging process. Working with a wrongful death lawyer in Mount Laurel could be critical.
