Virginia Fatal Car Accident and Wrongful Death Attorney Helps Clients through Painful Time
Fatal car accidents are the leading cause of accidental death in America, and often result in the necessity of wrongful death lawsuits brought by surviving loved ones. The loss of a loved one, for any reason, can place tremendous emotional and financial hardship on a family. Car accident deaths can be particularly difficult because they are sudden and unexpected, and are not a death that a family could have planned for. Let Northern Virginia Wrongful Death Lawyer Michael Driscoll act on behalf of you and your family, providing you with compassionate legal counsel and pursuing the compensation you require to get through this difficult time.
Fatal car accident lawsuits can be complicated. For example, you may be suing for the wrongful death of a loved one and your own injuries from the same accident. There may be multiple responsible parties and multiple people injured. Or the accident may have even been caused by a defective vehicle. Attorney Driscoll has experience with many kinds of fatal car accident cases, and he can help you create a solid case that allows you to move on with your life and begin the healing process.
In a typical auto accident, a driver is responsible due to negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongdoing. However, wrongful death cases due to a fatal car accident can involve:
- Defective roadways or obstacles in the road
- Product liability (defective vehicle)
- A governmental worker error or misconduct
Determining responsible parties can also be complex. For instance, if someone is mentally ill and causes the situation that leads to your loved one’s death, because the driver may be considered incapable of making proper decisions and not responsible for his or her actions, the fault may instead be determined to be medical malpractice due to improper medication or monitoring, and therefore, a mental hospital or doctor may become liable. Another scenario is in the case of a drunken teenager, the person who provided alcohol to an already intoxicated person or a minor can sometimes be held responsible for the resulting accident. Attorney Driscoll has experience with many different types of wrongful death cases, and can help you with yours, no matter how unusual the circumstances.
