R.I. Man Killed In Fall At Taunton ConstructionSite

The Bristol County District Attorney'€™s office said 24-year-old Nicholas Dumont of Pawtucket, R.I., was working about 40 feet off the ground helping build the framing of a warehouse. No foul play is suspected and Dumont'€™s death appears to have been an accident, the district attorney'€™s officer said. Members of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration have arrived at the construction site to investigate.
Why every fatality from a crash is not legally a wrongful death

After someone dies in a motor-vehicle accident, grieving family members and friends are often left with many questions. What caused the accident? Could it have been avoided? What do they do now that their loved one is gone?

Sometimes a fatal collision happens through no one's fault. Crashes caused by weather and road conditions, or by wildlife in the roadway, are examples. But when a fatal crash is caused by negligence, then family members should pursue a wrongful death claim, to uphold the victim's rights and begin the financial recovery process.
