The family has to show the same basic elements as any negligence case: the driver owed a duty of care, broke that duty, and that break directly caused the fatal crash. Police reports, witness statements, and physical evidence from the scene all get used, the same way they would in a survivable-injury case, just with far higher stakes and a grieving family instead of an injured client.
