Head-On Collision Kills 3 in Fort Worth

Posted By Law Office of James M. Stanley || 15-Oct-2019

On the night of Tuesday, October 8, a family of 4 was driving south down Blue Mound Road in Fort Worth, Texas. When a driver heading north tried to pass the car in front of him, he entered their lane and caused a fatal head-on collision.

The driver responsible for the crash was pronounced dead on the scene, as were the parents of two young sisters. The 10 and 13-year-old girls were rushed to Cook Children’s Hospital in critical condition. As they recover, the girls will be cared for by their aunt, who is a single mother and cannot afford their high medical bills.

In an outpouring of support, the Fort Worth community has raised over $3,700 via a GoFundMe campaign. While this is a wonderful demonstration of generosity, the girls could pay for their ongoing treatment and be compensated for their devastating loss in another way.

Filing a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

Because both their parents were killed in a collision caused by someone else’s negligent and unsafe behavior, the sisters who were injured in the accident should be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the other driver’s insurance policy. While minors cannot file lawsuits alone, the aunt who is now caring for them is a blood-relative of the deceased and can therefore file a claim on the family’s behalf.

If the family chooses to pursue a case, they can win damages to cover:

  • The girls’ medical expenses
  • Any rehabilitative costs associated with the accident
  • Funerary expenses for the girls’ parents
  • Economic and non-economic losses associated with the death of the girls’ parents

Even if the GoFundMe campaign is fully funded, a wrongful death suit will likely provide more adequate compensation for the girls. Personal injury lawyers exist for situations just like this one.

If you know the victims of this devastating crash, feel free to refer them to our Fort Worth office.
