With a wrongful death lawsuit, the surviving family members of a person who has lost his or her life in a car accident can seek to hold the responsible party legally accountable for their actions. This claim enables the family to seek damages that will help with medical bills, funeral costs and other economic and non-economic losses.

About Fatal Car Accidents

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has the mission of reducing the injuries, financial damages and loss of life from all types of traffic accidents. According to their statistics, traffic accidents were the leading cause of death for people aged from 3 to 34 in 2006. In 2008, more than 37,000 people lost their lives in traffic-related accidents. This averages to one person every 14 minutes. Approximately 30% of these fatal accidents involved one or more driver who had a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or greater, above the legal limit to operate a motor vehicle.
