As incredible as it sounds, Soraya Villanueva thought it was a good idea to drive 70 miles per hour down a residential street that had a posted speed limit 35 miles per hour. Confronting a yellow light, Villanueva didn’t decide to slow down, but speed up. Moments after punching the accelerator, Villanueva’s car struck 17-year-old Riley Rawlins, killing him.
The death of Riley isn’t simply morally wrong, but legally wrong. As a wrongful death, the family of the deceased as able to file suit on his behalf, despite the fact that they did not personally experience the harm he suffered. This type lawsuit – a wrongful death action – is an important way to protect victims from dangerous drivers like Ms. Villanueva.
