After investigating the
crash further, Police determined that Diana was driving under the influence of
alcohol and that is why his Focus crossed over the yellow lines into oncoming
traffic. Diana actually came forward and
admitted
to police that he was drinking and driving that night.
Fatal car accidents
happen far too often in Maryland. The
state’s Department of Transportation has set a goal of zero deaths on
Maryland’s roadways and continues to work tirelessly to improve the roads and
make them safer for drivers. Drunk
driving related deaths are horrific because someone makes an irresponsible decision
to drive drunk and then an innocent life is taken away because of that. Losing
a loved one in a fatal car accident is devastating for any family, especially
when it could have been prevented. No
amount of money will ever replace losing that person. In a wrongful death case, the law allows for
surviving estates to collect a financial recovery when a negligent party is
held liable for the cause of the death.
Compensation for damages can include: loss of services, loss of future
income, mental anguish, medical expenses, funeral expenses, and punitive
damages.
