A lawyer for the family of the deceased woman said two vehicles were racing at more than 110 mph before the crash, based on accident reconstruction analysis and downloads of “black box” recorder data from the racing vehicles. He said the family was waiting until the investigation was complete to decide whether to file a wrongful-death case.
Authorities originally said they planned to seek manslaughter charges against both men, but recently the driver of the BMW was charged with second-degree murder. Prosecutors said the second-degree murder charge was warranted because the man has a prior offense of driving while intoxicated. He pleaded guilty of driving while intoxicated in 2001 in St. Charles County, and he was convicted in 2002 of a similar crime in Los Angeles, according to records.
It is always a tragedy to lose a family member to a senseless act such as this, but the pain in this case may be worse knowing that this fatal crash was caused by a man who made a career out of defending people such as this victim and her family. As a personal injury attorney he was well aware of the consequences of his negligent actions.
If a lawsuit is filed and the plaintiffs need financial assistance, they may want to consider auto accident litigation funding. Auto accident lawsuit funding is a service that provides financial assistance to victims and their families while they wait for their case to be concluded and for justice to prevail.
Litigation funding will help pay necessary bills and expenses, such as medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, auto payments, rent, and other damages as a result of injuries or loss. It is provided based on the merits of the case and the time it will take to achieve that outcome. Funding can often be available in less than 48 hours after receipt of a completed application. There are no monthly fees, no credit checks, and no employment verification. Repayment of the cash advance is only required when the case concludes successfully. If the plaintiff loses, the repayment is waived in its entirety.
Financial relief during the litigation process is only a phone call away. But, it is important to choose an experienced funding company to guide you appropriately.
