Scene of the Accident
Commentary:
With any kind of single-vehicle accident where passengers and drivers are hurt or killed, the victims usually have some kind of connection, through work or friendship, so things can be a little sensitive discussing this. Let me take a step backward and look at this subjectively through a purely legal perspective. Generally, passengers or their families have a claim against the driver when they are hurt or killed. If drivers are speeding, or drunk, and that behavior injures or kills, then they have violated the duty to keep their passengers safe, plain and simple. Any breach of duty like this is negligent, and depending on the facts, a claim could be warranted.
