Can You File A Wrongful Death Claim in a Single-Vehicle Collision?

Yes, it is possible. It is very uncommon, however. An example of a wrongful death claim in a single-vehicle collision is when a passenger died from the actions of a negligent driver, and the surviving family members of the deceased served the driver with a wrongful death claim. However, if you were involved in a single-vehicle collision where only one party is present, like in the case above, then a wrongful death suit cannot be filed. However, there may be other legal options available for you. You can call us at (877) 871-3265 for a free consultation today. Source: My News LA
