According to police reports, two men were street racing
when the driver of a BMW struck a woman’s SUV. The SUV then veered into another
lane and was struck by the other street-racer’s vehicle. The female driver of
the SUV died the next day from internal injuries. The fatal crashed happened on
a busy road in Frontenac, Missouri on July 8, 2016.
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. Lawsuit

Three people are dead after a chain-reaction
crash triggered by street racing last month. California Highway Patrol
officials said that two Dodge muscle cars (a 2012 Dodge Challenger and a late
model Dodge Charger) were travelling over 100 mph in and out of LA freeway
traffic when the driver of the Challenger approached a vehicle moving at normal
freeway speed. As the racer tried to swerve around the other vehicle, he lost
control slamming into a UPS 18-wheeler. The 18-wheeler went airborne, over the
center median, and sheared off the top of an oncoming Nissan with four people
inside. The truck came to rest on top of a red Ford Explorer before bursting
into flames. The UPS driver and two teens in the Nissan were killed. The other
two people in the Nissan were critically injured; two more people suffered
minor injuries. The crash left the freeway closed for more than a day as officials
made repairs to the damaged road surface and barriers, according to Caltrans
and CHP officials. The 35-year-old driver of the Challenger is being held on
three counts of second-degree murder. Police are still asking for help identifying
the second driver believed to have been involved. They do not believe the drag
racers knew each other.
Even if the driver(s) responsible
face criminal charges, it is still possible to seek compensation from them in a
civil case. Recoverable compensation might include medical bills, funeral and burial expenses, lost wages, other
expenses related to the damages,
as well as pain and suffering. If these families file a lawsuit and are
struggling to meet financial obligations, lawsuit
funding may be an option.
