Motorcycles are hardly equipped to protect their riders in the event of a serious accident, and unfortunately, many motorcycle accidents result in fatal injuries.
While there’s no way to fully recover after the loss of a loved one, certain family members may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit to help with financial burdens.
However, there are only a few family members who are able to file a wrongful death suit. They include:
- A spouse to the deceased
- A child of the deceased
- Parents of the deceased
- Someone who was at least partially dependent on the deceased (i.e. adoptive siblings or other blood relatives)
A wrongful death attorney can help you determine whether or not you have grounds for a motorcycle accident case. Consult with an experienced personal injury law firm in your area to learn more about motorcycle accident cases and how lawsuits may be obtained.
