Gone too soon! Saddening. May the Lord grant her family and friends some peace and strength to move on as they fight for justice.
I urge the family to also consult with their/her car insurance rep. Under a "no-fault" auto insurance system - also known as "personal injury protection" or "PIP" - the insurance company ("insurer"), automatically pays for some of a car accident victim's losses, including "death benefits," which include things like funeral and burial expenses.
These payments are made regardless of who was at fault for the accident.
In addition, some death benefits are often called "survivors benefits," because they are paid to the family or "dependents" the deceased person ("decedent"). These include:
Accidental death benefits
Continuation of lost earnings
Periodic "pension" payments, and
Replacement services payments
To recover no-fault death benefits, the decedent's death has to be directly and clearly connected to the use or operation of a motor vehicle.
What the fuck is going on in Arizona??!!!
This should be happening to the Hombres not us!!!!!
Comeon @Anonimous. This is not the time and place for foul mouthing. And you bring your racist comments too??? Rest in Peace Sister.
those hombres are a nuisance to all other races. They are very nepotistic, small minded and prejudiced. They act like they are entitled to be here in america when in actual sense they came here illegally. I am glad Trump is scraping the DACA & building that wall. These guys can go back home and speak spanish to each other over there instead of insisting on speaking it here in america
