Hello Gene -
There are certainly things you can do. Are you interested in how the criminal case against the other driver proceeds? The prosecution should provide a contact person for you, who can answer your questions and tell you about your rights as a crime victim. You are entitled to have your voice heard in the criminal process.
If you are talking about civil remedies, it makes sense to talk to an attorney soon. You will no doubt have a course of action you can follow in the civil process, to try and compensate you and your family for the expenses associated with your loss.
I would recommend you talk to a law firm with experience in both the criminal and civil areas of law, so you can get your questions answered.
