Tennis Star Facing Wrongful Death Suit After Fatal Crash

July 6, 2017

Just weeks before she was to head off to London to compete for the 20th time at Wimbledon, tennis star Venus Williams was involved in a fatal car crash. While Williams was not injured, a 78-old-man and his 68-year-old wife were. The man died approximately two weeks later from his injuries.

The crash occurred on June 9 in South Florida. According to authorities, Williams was going through an intersection in her SUV, traveling at approximately 5 mph, when the other vehicle hit her. The wife was driving, and her husband was a passenger.

Witnesses reported that Williams had entered the intersection on a red light, while the couple in the other vehicle had a green light. The police report said that Williams was “violating the right of way” at the time. The crash is still being investigated, but Williams has not been cited.

The couple’s daughter, however, has filed a wrongful death suit against Williams. The suit also details her mother’s injuries, which reportedly include “a cracked sternum, shattered right arm, broken wrist, hand and fingers.”

Williams, who had already expressed her “heartfelt condolences” to the family on Facebook, was questioned about the crash in a news conference at Wimbledon. She tearfully called it “devastating,” but was unable to continue with her answer. Reporters were instructed not to question her further about the crash.

Even if no traffic citations are issued or criminal charges are filed after a crash, victims and surviving loved ones can still pursue civil action against an at-fault driver. This can help them get compensation for medical bills, funeral costs, pain and suffering, lost wages and more. An experienced Albuquerque wrongful death attorney can provide guidance as you rebuild your life without your loved one.
