Sisters Killed in Car Accident While Traveling for a Family Vacation

November 16, 2021

On June 20, 2021, two sisters died in a car accident while heading to Northern Michigan. The girls were traveling for a family vacation. The 22-year-old and 16-year-old sisters were in the same vehicle while their father drove in a separate car.

The car driven by the two sisters was struck by another car heading in the opposite direction. The woman in the other vehicle tried to avoid a crash and ran off the road and into oncoming traffic. 

Emergency responders pronounced the sisters dead at the accident scene. The driver that hit the sisters’ vehicle also went to the hospital for injuries sustained in the accident. The medical facility airlifted her to another hospital because she had life-threatening injuries.

When a loved one is the victim of a fatal car accident, the at-fault driver is liable for the collision and damages that arise. The surviving family members can bring a wrongful death lawsuit to seek compensation for financial losses, such as funeral and burial expenses and medical bills. They may also recover for noneconomic damages, including loss of companionship and emotional distress.

Throughout the case, litigation expenses arise and can be costly. Legal action can create a financial strain, and the family may need to find a way to cover the costs. Litigation funding is an ideal option to help pay the expenses.

Legal funding is a service in which a third-party financing company loans money to a borrower to pay for litigation or personal expenses throughout the lawsuit. Unlike traditional loans, borrowers do not have to repay the legal financing out of their own pockets. Repayment of the loan comes from the money the borrower receives from the lawsuit. Therefore, the third party that provides the funding only gets the loan returned if the borrower wins or settles the case.
