A teenaged driver was killed in a head-on collision with a semi truck on Grandview Road at North Star Road in Ferndale. Dante DeLeon, 16, attempted to turn left onto Grandview from North Star Road just after 3 p.m. when he failed to yield to an oncoming semi. The semi hit the car head-on. DeLeon was pronounced deceased at the crash site. The male drivers of both the semi and the U-Haul struck following the initial crash are not seriously injured.

What money damages are recoverable in a death claim?

Every death from an accident is tragic. When a death is the result of someone else’s negligence, certain survivors may make a wrongful death claim against those responsible. Close relatives may recover monetary damages for the loss of financial support, as well as for medical, funeral, and burial expenses, lost earnings, and in some cases for pain, suffering, and loss of love and affection.
