State troopers responded to the scene, near the Fryelands Boulevard intersection, at about 9:30 a.m. Tuesday after receiving a report of a serious crash. Investigators found that an eastbound Hyundai passenger car crossed the centerline and struck a westbound Jaguar driven by Jeff Lucas, who died at the scene. The driver of the Hyundai, a 72-year-old Lake Stevens woman, was taken to Providence Regional Medical Center Everett with non-life-threatening injuries.

What money damages are recoverable in a death claim? Every death from an accident is tragic. When a death is the result of someone else’s negligence, certain survivors may make a wrongful death claim against those responsible. Close relatives may recover monetary damages for the loss of financial support, as well as for medical, funeral, and burial expenses, lost earnings, and in some cases for pain, suffering, and loss of love and affection. Learn more about wrongful death claims here…
