A motorcyclist was killed last week when he collided with a van near 35
th Avenue and Lower Buckeye in Phoenix.
The accident occurred early Tuesday morning. Details of the accident still haven't been released, but video footage from a local news station showed the motorcycle under the front part of the van.
The van was being driven by an employee of the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office at the time of the accident. There were a total of four MSCO employees in the van, but none were injured.
At this time, police are still investigating the accident and trying to determine who is at fault. If the investigation turns up evidence that the driver of the van was responsible for causing the accident, the family of the motorcyclist woul be entitled to file a
wrongful death lawsuit against both the driver and the sheriff's office.

Arizona personal injury laws entitle the surviving family members of those killed in accidents caused by others to seek compensation for their loss. This compensation is used to pay for the victim's pain and suffering and medical expenses before death, as well as for the hardship the family will experience without their loved one. This includes both economic hardship, such as wages the vicitm would have contributed, and non-economic hardship, such as the loss of love, support, companionship, guidance, supervision, care, etc. Filing a wrongful death lawsuit can be difficult, both emotionally and legally speaking.
