Car Accident Suit Says Couple Died Due to Reckless Homicide

The families of two men who were killed while out celebrating their anniversary are filing a lawsuit against the other driver alleging drunk driving led to reckless homicide.

The two men, John and Daryl, were in their mid-thirties. According to the car accident suit, the other driver was inebriated and driving in the wrong direction when his truck slammed the pair’s sedan.

The families allege that the other driver showed “complete indifference to the safety of others.” The car accident suit is seeking $25,000 for funeral costs, as well as for losses suffered.

Car Accident Suits

Car accidents, even minor fender benders, can be traumatic. In addition to property damage, personal and emotional injuries, as well as losses from missed work and medical evaluations can pile up.

While everyone hopes that they will not be the ones in an accident, increasing numbers of cars on the road, as well as risks of distracted and even intoxicated drivers means that accidents will happen. A car accident attorney can help simplify the insurance claims process at a minimum and take the accident to court if necessary.

If you have been in a car accident and the accident was not your fault, a car accident suit can help you recover your medical bills and expenses, lost wages, property damage, and emotional pain and suffering.

Tips for After a Car Accident

If the collision bends metal, you should get a medical evaluation to ensure you haven’t been injured. Muscle strains and sprains, as well as other injuries may not arise until a few days after the accident.

Relatedly, be sure to document your injuries, as well as property damaged you suffered due to the car accident.

Do not let the insurance companies rush you. Insurance companies want to pay out as little as possible and they have been known to rush car accident victims into low paying settlements. You may have legal options, including a car accident suit, with the insurance company.

Consider speaking with an experienced attorney, especially if you suffered personal injuries or the loss of a loved one. An attorney can help simplify the insurance process and talk to you about whether filing a car accident suit is a good option for your situation.

A good car accident attorney will also be your advocate and look out for your interests. They can help you recover the money you need while you focus on recovering from the car accident.

If you have questions about your insurance company, a car accident attorney can also help. If the other driver was uninsured, you may be able to make a claim using your insurance if you opted for uninsured motorist coverage.

Additionally, if the accident was not your fault, your insurance rates should not go up if you make a claim for the non-fault use of your PIP or MedPay coverage.
