Fatal Motorcycle Accidents
When the inappropriate actions - or negligence - of a person, company, or entity results in a person's death, it is considered to be a "wrongful death". Negligence can be an intentional act or a momentary act of recklessness or carelessness.
It is truly tragic when a motorcycle accident caused by negligence results in the death of a loved one. To protect certain family members in these terribly unfortunate situations, state laws provide for wrongful death and/or survival actions. An attorney is best able to advise family members on how the law applies in their wrongful death action.
Compensation for a wrongful death claim may include actual losses experienced by each individual survivor; the deceased's future earnings that family members would have received; and hospital, nursing, medical, funeral and estate administration expenses that they had to pay because of the injuries that resulted in the deceased's death.
If you suspect the death of a loved one was caused by negligence, Edgar Snyder & Associates can help you to:
- Identify who, under law, may be entitled to compensation for a wrongful death. Those eligible to compensation may include a spouse, children, parents, or other relatives considered to be dependents of the deceased.
- Recover any money damages surviving loved ones are eligible to receive. Compensation can vary from state to state and can be dependent upon the relationship of the survivor to the deceased.
- Provide experts who can help to reconstruct the accident.
- Determine if a surviving family member is eligible for other benefits such as Work Comp or Social Security Disability benefits.
- Determine if a defective product may have contributed to the fatal injury.
