Wrongful Death

The decedent, the driver of a car in which his wife was a passenger, died when the car ran broadside into a semi-tractor trailer making a U-turn on a two-lane state highway. At issue was the applicability of recent side lighting and reflector statutes and the issue of alcohol consumption by the decedent whose blood alcohol level was in excess of the legal limit. The case was resolved in part by the use of a structured settlement to provide monthly payments for life to the widow.
