What If a Member of My Family Dies in an Accident Involving a DUI Driver?

Those who have lost someone they have known as a result of an auto accident can attest to the fragility of life. In the blink of an eye, a family’s life can be turned upside down. One of the most harrowing questions to be asked and answered is… what can be done?

What type of claim can be brought for the death of my loved one?

If someone is killed as a result of automobile negligence, it is considered to be a wrongful death by law. While wrongful death is not criminal, it is a pursuable claim for damages against the at-fault driver and their insurance company.

Who is responsible for funeral arrangement and costs?

Funeral benefits up to $10,000 may be available through Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage if your loved one was an insured driver. If your loved one was uninsured but was killed by an insured driver, funeral benefits may be available through the other driver’s insurance. Dan Newlin Injury Attorneys strive to help those who have suffered such a terrible loss. We investigate available benefits and help connect you with those who can help you make the end of life arrangements, at no cost to you.
