Family Accepts Medal of Honor for Fallen Cop | Bellevue Wrongful Death Attorney

via Premier Law Group by jason on 11/22/11

Drinking and driving is unacceptable behavior due to the destructive accidents it commonly brings about. As a Seattle wrongful death lawyer, I am profoundly affected when I hear about a dedicated police officer losing their life while on duty due to a drunk driver. The Seattle Police Department Blotter has reported that a Seattle officer was given the Medal of Honor for his heroic dedication to the force. Officer Olof F. Wilson, was killed while on duty when he tried to cross the street to answer a police call box when he was struck by a speeding vehicle. This incident occurred in March of 1935, family members accepted the Medal of Honor on behalf of Wilson on November 21, 2011. It was determined that the driver had been driving while under the influence at the time of the fatal accident. It is truly an inspirational award and our thanks and gratitude goes out to all public service members for their service and dedication to our ongoing safety.
Drinking and driving is reckless and leads to countless numbers of avoidable deaths. Wrongful deaths are caused by the negligence of someone else, and because of this, the victim's family is typically entitled to seek compensation for damages. Losing a family member can have devastating effects, including mental and emotional pain, as well as financial outcomes.
