Q: What can I do if my loved one was killed in an accident or wreck that was not their fault?

A: Many people die in accidents every year. This is especially bad in motorcycle wrecks and there have been a lot of pedestrians hit and killed recently.

In cases like these, a family member may be able to file a claim for wrongful death depending on how the accident happened. If you have lost a loved one because of somebody else's negligence or recklessness, then you should get a good lawyer as soon as possible. There is usually a statute of limitation that must be considered, and if you wait too long, you may ruin your case and get nothing.
