On Tuesday, March 9, Katrina Jackson was killed by a drunk driver in a tragic accident near Chicago, IL. Police report that Yvonne Kemp crossed the center line and crashed into a light pole, which then fell on the vehicle driven by Jackson. Jackson was killed. Her nine-year-old daughter was thrown from the vehicle. She is currently being treated at a nearby hospital. Kemp was charged with drunken driving, as well as other offenses.
Losing a family member in an accident like this one is a terrible tragedy. In cases like this where such a loss is caused by another person's negligence, the victim's family may wish to file a wrongful death lawsuit. I wish I could say that this is a simple task, but in my experience, people will do almost anything to avoid being held responsible for an accident. But ultimately, the law is on your side. With the help of an experienced wrongful death attorney, those responsible for your family member's death can be brought to justice.
