In most cases, the primary challenge will be proving that a defendant was responsible for your loved one’s death. Insurance companies for negligent parties often attempt to find ways to avoid or minimize liability in these situations. In some circumstances, insurers may quickly offer victims lump-sum settlements to resolve the case, but the proposed settlements are almost always much less than what victims are genuinely entitled to
