California Pedestrian Accident and Wrongful Death

The investigation into this incident is primarily geared toward locating the suspect. If authorities are correct in that the suspect committed the act on purpose, then once found, that person will certainly face several felony charges most likely including murder. The circumstances surrounding this tragic occurrence seem to indicate that the bereaved family of the victim will certainly have grounds for a wrongful death lawsuit to follow. Of course, the decision to file a claim for compensation is a terribly personal one that can only be made by the family members of the victim.
