Legal Question in Traffic Law in California

Death of Relative in Pedestrian vs. Car Accident
My brother (in his 50s and homeless)
was a pedestrian who was struck by
a car, hospitalized for 10 days, then
died. My father paid for all the
funeral and burial costs. We cannot
get a copy of the police report
because we are not an involved
party. Is the driver of the car (or
their insurance co.) responsible for
covering the costs of the funeral &
burial? What, if anything, should my
father do?

First, I am sorry to hear about your loss. At the very least your father should consult with an attorney to discuss potential options.

Feel free to contact my office.

Good Luck!
