The roads of Ohio can be a dangerous place. A car accident can happen at any time, under multiple circumstances. While many of these accidents turn out to be little more than fender benders without injuries, some can lead to severe injuries and fatalities. When there is a wrongful death incident, it will include the loss of a loved one, the loss of companionship, as well as the likely financial issues that go along with a sudden death. Those who have been affected need to be aware of how to move forward with a legal case to pursue compensation.
A three-vehicle accident claimed the life of a 38-year-old woman. According to the law enforcement investigation, the accident occurred as the woman was a passenger in a 1998 Lincoln Mark VIII. The male driver of the vehicle was heading west and turning into a business when when the vehicle was hit by a 1998 Dodge Ram truck. The Lincoln then spun and hit a 2015 Toyota Rav4 that was stopped in the entranceway of the business.
The woman was declared dead at the accident scene. Her 20-year-old daughter was flown to the hospital with serious injuries. The male driver of the Lincoln was treated and released from another hospital. The accident happened at approximately 5:30 p.m.
It can be one of the most difficult times in a person's life to lose a loved one in an unexpected manner. A fatal car crash is just such an occurrence. Not only will there be grief to deal with, but there can be problems paying the bills, caring for children and numerous other issues.
There might be injuries to others along with the fatality. This can cost money in hospitalization, rehabilitative care and lost time at work. In many cases, the only way to recover from the personal and financial aftereffects of a fatal accident is to seek compensation in a lawsuit.
In this case, a three-vehicle accident led to a woman's untimely death. Considering the circumstances of this incident and that her daughter was also seriously injured, the family needs to have legal assistance in preparing for a possible lawsuit with help from an experienced legal professional.
