Deadly Vehicle Collisions in Maine

Sometimes, severe injuries resulting from motor vehicle collisions can be fatal. Tragically, this is the case. Although nothing can replace the loss of a family member's loved one in a car accident, families can seek justice and hold the negligent driver accountable by taking legal action. The costs associated with a loved one's illness and passing are typically determined by maintaining a record of invoices and demonstrating payment.

However, loss of support claims is more complex: the assessment of such a loss is contingent upon the amount that a deceased loved one was expected to contribute to the household in the future. Moreover, this quantity will be influenced by the professional and employment history of your loved one, the age of your loved one at the time of their passing, as well as factors such as the presence of a spouse, employment status, and dependent offspring, determine the number of dependents your loved one leaves behind.
