Fatal auto accident: Support for those who are grieving

Sadly, many people in Florida know what it is like to receive an unexpected phone call informing them that a loved one has been in a serious collision. When a fatal auto accident occurs, lives are changed forever. When a death occurs suddenly, it often intensifies the grief.

Learning that a loved one has died in a motor vehicle collision evokes a wide range of emotion. A person grieving such a loss may feel as though he or she should have been able to prevent the loved one’s death. If the collision was preventable and caused by a drunk or distracted driver, it’s understandable to feel angry and frustrated

Each person mourns differently. It is helpful to connect with others who have suffered similar losses for support in the days and weeks following a tragedy. Sudden death bereavement can include symptoms that are similar to post-traumatic stress disorder. If a person is having trouble sleeping, feels anxious or is having trouble functioning on a daily basis, it is a good idea to reach out for additional support. 

A fatal auto accident affects many areas of a grieving family’s life. An experienced Florida injury law attorney can be part of a support team, in particular, to address the emotional and economic damages that may have been sustained due to another person’s negligent or reckless behavior. An immediate family member of a person who was fatally injured in a collision caused by driver negligence may file a wrongful death claim to seek restitution.
