In discussion I was asked last night what I thought a person would get in the event of a fatal car crash, and I'm no legal gu-ru. But I assume there would be compensation,for the expense caused and for loss of earnings she had been accustomed to or am I wrong, What do you think?.
The story: A man and sole earner in his 40s with grown up children was killed in a car crash, his wife don't work, The accident has been deemed as other drivers fault and is been charged with dangerous driving causing death, This driver was driving a company vehicle. I believe this women would be entitled to a large companion package as her husband was only earner, but who do she claim off of ?, and what do she claim for ?, How would claim be made up ?,
I allowed that she would claim for a percentage of his earnings from time of accident up to his retirement off the driver and the company he works for, and she would also get all expenses incurred from accident. This person had no life insurance and no mortgage protection and He wasn't a big earner. This woman has now to pay her mortgage and the funeral expenses which was thousands on a widows pension, Accident happened 2 years ago. She has been with a solicitor but is not clear on what is happening if anything. Any advice please..
