I'm not sure what your trying to get at . . . but most states have some version of "The Good Samaritan Law" which would cover responsibility and kindness to an injured party.
DNA evidence, confession of another party.
Requesting a lie detector test usually falls under the power of the District Attorney prosecuting the case - he may respect the family wishes - he may not. I don't think it's up to the family.
Each state will have different laws . . .

What about aiding a fatality injured person? Most states have good Samaritan laws protecting help providers and requiring that if you are able to give aid, you must.
Moving a fatally injured person? Unless in immediate danger, NEVER move a injured person.
Do we have a responsibility to passengers in our vehicle?
Yes. If you are drunk, driving un safe, or any other reason like that, then you are responsible. If your just driving along and someone Else's actions, not in your car, are at fault, then no.
What would be clear grounds to reopen a case( what kind of evidence) possible murder?
I would not ask anyone on here for that info, That is something only a GOOD lawyer can supply.
What can a family member do to see that a lie detector test is given? Lie detector tests can be given to other than the police, the lawyer can set it up. As for making another take it against their will, nothing unless ordered by a judge and that is unlikely.

1. Aiding a fatally injured person: One has no obligation to aid another, but there are laws that protect those that do and cause further injury. It is called the "Good Samaritan Law".
2. If injury was caused by moving the person, and the one that moved the person did so with the honest intent of saving the person's life, then they are protected by the "Good Samaritan Law".
3. We have the responsibility to protect them by driving with care, but again - you can't force someone to do something they don't feel comfortable in doing. If the person has no first aid training, then how are they going to know what to do? You can't expect a person to act outside their field of knowledge. Yes - one would like to think that in a situation, they would do whatever it took to save the life of another person. But the reality is that not everyone knows what exactly to do other than call for help. Shock is a factor, as is lack of training. They could be concerned with doing further harm, or killing the person, if they attempt to help them. There is a reason that if one saves another's life, they are called "heroes" instead of just another human being.
4. To reopen a case, one would have to be able to prove that there is evidence that a crime has been committed. There is no statute of limitations on murder, so one could only bring new, credible evidence to the authorities for them to reopen a case. Credible evidence would be someone with eyewitness knowledge, physical evidence of something being done wrong, or a valid motive for the person to murder the other. Some of these may have already been explored by the authorities, but bringing in anything that you have found in doing your own investigation may get them to reopen the case. Also just being a pain in their sides - going to the media, calling and speaking to high-ups in the department, etc.
5. Lie detector tests are not admissible in court. Police only use them to rule out suspects, and typically use them in the course of investigations only. Since they are not considered admissible in court (the results are not concrete), the authorities often ask them to take one. They can't force someone to take a lie detector test - it will only skew the results. So in the lie detector test part, you can't see to it being administered. It can only be suggested, and the police can ask the suspect. But you have to have some evidence that they are a credible suspect. You can't just "have a feeling" they are guilty, and ask the police to give them a lie detector test. That is illegal.
I hope this helps out. I don't think this stuff is what you want - it sounds like you are trying to get someone for something you feel they did wrong - but it is my understanding of the law. Best thing would be to go speak to a lawyer and find out. Without all of the information one isn't going to be able to give you all of the answers.

Sorry but it sounds like this is your university home work assignment. Go on the internet. Use google first punch in keywords
like
legal & arguments & fatallity injured person
and see what it comes up.
From my opinion the Pro that comes to my mind is that
of the good Samaritarian like in the New Testament.
You have the legal obligation to help when you involved or witnissing an accident.

Fatality: the permanent end of the life of a biological organism. i.e. DEATH.
Why in the world would you want to aid a fatality injured person? that does not make sense, know why?
BECAUSE THEY'RE DEAD!
What do you hope to do? Bring em back to life?

lie detector tests are not admissable in court because they can be beaten. Drivers are responsible for passengers in their vehicle.
