Q: Wrongful death of an individual caused by someone in a company vehicle, is there special circumstances for compensation?
Does the companies auto insurance company have to make a payout if a claim is filled? Is there a standard amount or can they offer whatever they want?
A: A North Carolina attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for three weeks. I'm sorry for this loss. This would need to be discussed with North Carolina attorneys in greater detail. It could depend on the capacity of the victim, whether employee or pedestrian or other, the policy, details on how the accident occurred, respective shares of fault of everyone involved, relationship of a prospective plaintiff to the victim, applicable North Carolina laws, and other factors. Law firms that handle such cases generally offer free initial consults. Good luck
