Did you know that more than 90 percent of all motor vehicle accidents are caused by human error? Many accidents are preventable. When a loved one’s death is caused by a careless and negligent driver, you have every right to pursue wrongful death compensation in a claim handled by experienced attorney Patrick Troxler. If the crash and death was the result of someone else’s carelessness, then you may be able to pursue the following compensatory damages:

  • Medical expenses related to the crash injuries
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Pain and suffering before death
  • Loss of deceased loved one’s financial contributions
  • Loss of deceased loved one’s guidance, care, and companionship

The key in most of these cases is to demonstrate how a motorist’s negligence led to the fatal accident. Examples of negligence when it comes to driving include:

  • Distracted driving
  • Drunk driving
  • Swerving in and out of lanes
  • Speeding
  • Running red lights and stop signs
  • Falling asleep at the wheel
