Connecticut woman killed in crash on I-4

A Connecticut woman was killed Tuesday night in a crash on I-4 in Osceola County. His passenger, 24-year-old Jennifer Desrosiers, of Newtown, Connecticut, was pronounced dead at the scene. FHP said the crash remains under investigation and charges are pending. The Florida Highway Patrol said Gustavio Navia, 28, of Davenport was westbound on I-4 at a high rate of speed and lost control of his 2004 Isuzu Rodeo. Navia was transported to Orlando Regional Medical Center in critical condition.

Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death

After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?

Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
