Legal Question in DUI Law in North Carolina

wrongful motor vehicle death

My 21 year old daughter (who still lived with us) was a passenger of a vehicle which had a one car wreck in wich my daugher died. I am told that the driver had a blood alcohol of .22.

The investigation is not finished and my daughters death certificate says ''pending'' due to the investigation. What are the steps that I should take?

Re: wrongful motor vehicle death

There is nothing that you "need" to do in terms of the autopsy determining the precise cause of death. However, I would advise you to speak with an attorney about exploring what insurance coverage there may or may not be as it relates to a potential Wrongful Death Claim. I would be happy to speak with you about your claim. Feel free to call me at your convenience. 704.210.8718 Joseph Estwanik IV
