The family members of the man and woman on the motorcycle may choose to file wrongful death claims against the SUV driver, seeking the reimbursement of financial damages sustained in the collision.

Financial damages cannot undo the events leading to the tragic crash, but they may help the deceased parties’ surviving loved ones move forward as they struggle to come to terms with the devastating outcome.
