FHP: Driver was passing illegally on shoulder before fatal crash
According to officials, the driver steered right to avoid debris on the shoulder, but ended up striking the left side of a 2014 Hyundai.
After the Infiniti continued toward the outside shoulder and struck a guardrail, the two occupants were thrown from the vehicle.
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death
After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?
Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
