What Legal Options Do Families Have After a Fatal Pedestrian Crash in Framingham, MA?

Massachusetts allows a personal representative of a deceased person's estate to bring a wrongful death claim on behalf of surviving family members when a pedestrian is killed by a negligent driver. 

These claims can address the financial impact of the loss, including lost income the person would have earned and the loss of their companionship and guidance. A separate survival action may also allow the estate to pursue damages for any pain the person experienced between the crash and their death.

When multiple agencies, including state crash reconstruction specialists, are involved in an investigation, it typically means the findings will carry significant weight in determining what happened. Families sometimes wait weeks or months for these findings to be finalized.

Massachusetts generally requires a wrongful death claim to be filed within three years of the date of death, though certain circumstances can affect this timeline. 

Given how long a multi-agency investigation can take, families are usually encouraged to consult with a wrongful death lawyer early, even before a final report is released, so evidence isn't lost and deadlines aren't missed.
