What Happens When a Cyclist Is Killed by a Vehicle in Lynn, MA?

When a cyclist is killed in Lynn after being struck by a vehicle, the surviving family may be able to pursue a wrongful death claim against the at-fault driver's insurance carrier. 

After a fatal accident, families of the victims can face funeral and burial costs, lost income the deceased would have provided, and the emotional toll of losing a loved one unexpectedly. Massachusetts law allows families to recover these damages through a wrongful death claim. This can include reasonable funeral and burial expenses, medical costs connected to the final injury, and compensation for the loss of the decedent's companionship, guidance, and support.

In Massachusetts, wrongful death claims generally must be filed within three years of the date of death. The state’s statute of limitations gives families a wide window to file a claim, but it is important to note that some evidence needs to be gathered early on.

A wrongful death lawyer can make sure that evidence such as traffic camera footage and vehicle data is gathered promptly before it becomes lost.
