If a road accident causes the death of a passenger, the family of the victim may be in a position to pursue a claim for wrongful death against the individual responsible for the accident. That might be the person who was driving the vehicle in which the passenger was killed, it might be the driver of a different vehicle, or it might be a separate party altogether who is still culpable for the accident to some degree.

Of course, blame cannot be properly apportioned until a full investigation has been completed by law enforcement officers. In addition to that, a lawyer acting on behalf of the victim's family may also be inclined to conduct their own investigation independently before proceeding with a wrongful death lawsuit. This will enable them to ensure all those responsible are identified.
