FAMILY WINS LAWSUIT IN WRONGFUL DEATH OF CAR SALESMAN. BAY AREA CAR ACCIDENT INJURY LAWYERS ARE HERE FOR YOU
Depending on different state laws, wrongful death lawsuits can be brought by only certain people that usually include the victim’s parents, spouse or children. So, if the person bringing the suit is the victim’s distant cousin, the law will likely prohibit them from filing the lawsuit. Often times the laws in different jurisdictions only provide certain damages that the family may recover from the lawsuit. For example, the damages in a lawsuit may recover money for the victim’s medical care or funeral expenses but would not cover for the family’s pain and suffering. All of these details are different in different states, so the best option would be to call and get a free consultation from Greenberg & Rudman LLP so that you know your rights.

A jury in Cook County, Illinois, found in favor of a car salesman’s family in a wrongful death lawsuit on Monday, April 20, 2009. The victim, Roger Czapski, was killed in 2004 when he was taking a customer, Christopher Maher, out for a test drive in a BMW. Maher, driving the BMW, clipped a Saturn and the car swerved and hit a light pole. The driver and the two other passengers were ejected from the car, but Czapski died at a hospital approximately ninety minutes later. The evidence during trial showed that Maher was driving the car at about ninety-five miles per hour when the crash occurred. Maher pled guilty to aggravated speeding in 2005 in relation to the crash, and was sentenced to one year of probation and 30 days of community service.
