On a Day Honoring Mothers, a Woman Gave Her Own Life to Save her Daughter

A Mother’s Day walk ended tragically for one family after a woman saved her daughter from an out-of-control vehicle.

As a mother and daughter walked side-by-side on their way home from church, an 80-year-old woman was backing out of a diagonal parking spot along the street. For unknown reasons at this time, the woman’s 2005 Toyota Corolla went onto the sidewalk. Seeing the vehicle coming towards them, the mother grabbed her teen daughter, pushing her out of the way before the vehicle hit a firehouse. Police said the vehicle clipped the daughter, but the mother was pinned underneath. Bystanders rushed to the scene and pushed the Corolla off the woman and administered CPR until first responders arrived. She was transported to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. Her daughter and the driver suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The Corolla was impounded for a safety check and the investigation is continuing. Every detail is critical in order to determine how the incident happened. Did the driver fail to put the car in drive after backing up? Was there a mechanical failure?

Even if there are no criminal charges filed against the driver, the family of the deceased woman may still be able to seek compensation for their loss under a wrongful death lawsuit. The best way to proceed is to consult and experienced auto accident attorney.

Should a lawsuit be filed and pressing financial concerns arise, the family may be interesting in learning about litigation funding.

Litigation funding is a means to obtain quick access to cash without the need for employment verification or a credit check. With a solid lawsuit as collateral, plaintiffs can apply for litigation funding and receive much needed cash within 24 – 48 hours. There are no monthly payments, and best of all, if the case is lost there is no obligation to repay the cash advance.
