No one expects their loved one will be involved in a car accident. These accidents can happen in the blink of an eye. Lately there seems to be more car accidents that are caused by negligence of another driver. Whether it’s because the other driver is using their cell phone, texting, speeding or engaging in other negligent behavior, these kinds of accidents are oftentimes entirely preventable.
A recent accident near Cary claimed the life of a man from Moncure. A man driving a Volkswagon at more than 100 miles per hour southbound on US-1 near 64 in Cary was spotted by a Wake County Sheriff deputy. The deputy tried to pursue the vehicle, but due to the speed and traffic volume he determined there was no way to safely pursue and pull over the vehicle. The driver of the Volkswagon lost control of the vehicle and hit another car that was driven by the man from Moncure. The injured victim was taken to Wake Med, where he died a few days later. The negligent speeding driver is facing multiple criminal charges, including eluding arrest.
No one expects their loved one will die because of an unexpected car crash. These accidents can turn a family’s life upside down. Their beloved family member may have been the breadwinner of the family or a parent who took care of the children. Regardless of their role, the family member is greatly missed. Personal injury legal options may help a family going through this traumatic time. Pursuing a personal injury lawsuit may get the answers a family deserves as to what happened to cause the accident. If the accident was caused by another person’s negligence, a lawsuit may hold that person accountable. Compensation may be available for medical expenses, funeral expenses, lost wages and other damages.
