Fatal Car Accidents in Maryland: How Do We Respond as a Society?
The Baltimore Sun has an interesting story on balancing compassion and victim's rights in fatal car accidents in Maryland.
These are tough issues. What should be the criminal penalties for those who negligently (distinguished from drunk for our purposes here) kill others in fatal car accidents? Should criminal courts admit "I'm sorry" evidence from the driver accused of killing another in a motor vehicle.
My law partner blogged recently about a case in Missouri where it is pretty easy to infer that a lawsuit should not have been brought against the at-fault party in a wrongful death case. Before you disagree, read the facts here and let me know what you think.
