A woman has been charged in connection with a fatal motorcycle accident in Maywood. The collision took the life of a young man from Bellwood, and police say the woman fled the scene. She later turned herself in, reportedly after hearing that police were looking for her.<\/p>\n

The accident happened in Maywood at about 10:00 p.m. on July 7, and the 24-year-old motorcyclist was pronounced dead several hours later at Loyola University Medical Center.<\/p>\n

Maywood police received a tip linking the accident to the vehicle of the 33-year-old woman now facing charges. Police say the Wisconsin resident failed to yield, drove while her license was revoked and fled the scene of a crash that caused a death. Pending further investigation, she could be charged with other crimes in connection with the alleged hit and run.<\/p>\n

Too often, drivers whose licenses have been suspended or revoked end up driving anyway. When they get into\u00a0car accidents<\/a>, some of them panic and flee the scene, sometimes leaving behind seriously injured people.<\/p>\n

In this case, the family of the deceased cyclist may have recourse to the law beyond a criminal conviction of the other driver. In fact, sometimes the penalties for a criminal conviction appear too lenient to the grieving family of a deceased victim.<\/p>\n

Wrongful death lawsuits are civil court actions, giving families the opportunity to seek the full measure of justice after losing a loved one. These lawsuits can lead to compensation for damages such as loss of companionship, lost wages, funeral expenses and medical bills.<\/p>\n
