The Impact on Victims and Compensation Available

Fatal car accidents, such as this Oakland County wrong-way collision, leave surviving family members in emotional and financial turmoil. Beyond the profound grief of losing a loved one, families may face unexpected expenses, including funeral costs, medical bills, and the loss of income or support. In cases involving wrongful death, survivors may be entitled to compensation to help alleviate these burdens.

Compensation can include economic damages, such as covering end-of-life medical expenses and burial costs, as well as non-economic damages for the pain and suffering endured by the family. Pursuing justice through compensation also allows victims’ families to hold responsible parties accountable for their actions, ensuring similar incidents are prevented in the future.
