Our eighteen-year-old client was driving on an interstate into
the early morning sun. As he drove over a rise in the road,
he struck a car that was disabled and stopped in the middle
of the road because a 150-pound wheel and tire detached from
a tractor-trailer rig traveling in the opposite direction.
The lugs holding the tire had broken off, causing the tire
and wheel to travel across the median strip, and hit and
disable the stopped vehicle.
Awarded: $ 3.5 million

Every day, people are injured and killed in Massachusetts. This unfortunate fact is apparent as you open up the daily newspaper and read headlines of car crashes, assaults and numerous types of accidents. When someone dies because of another person’s negligent acts, the surviving family members may be able to file a Massachusetts wrongful death claim against that individual. A Massachusetts wrongful death lawsuit allows the family to seek retribution in the death of their loved one.
If an individual dies, who had been contributing to the household income, such as a spouse, it can leave the family in serious financial trouble. A wrongful death lawsuit in Massachusetts can entitle the family to compensation, which can ease the financial burden that may have been created due to the loved one’s death. A successful case can even provide punitive damages, an amount that is in excess of the other damages awarded to the family.
A wrongful death case is filed in civil court and is different than a criminal proceeding. Sometimes a wrongful death claim is made in addition to a criminal prosecution, such as in the case of O.J. Simpson who was acquitted in the deaths of Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman, but later lost a wrongful death lawsuit in connection with their deaths.
You should contact a Boston wrongful death attorney if you have lost a loved one due to negligence. Call Kiley Law Group, LLP today at 800-410-2769.
