- Driving more hours than is allowed and/or safe
- Failure to conduct routine maintenance on the truck

When these regulations are overlooked, innocent people can be injured – and you have the right to sue.

Seek Justice for the Loss of Your Loved One After a Fatal Truck Accident
When a commercial truck hits a smaller vehicle, the likelihood of a fatality is significantly higher because of the difference in weight, size, and height between the two vehicles. When fatalities occur, the family of the deceased can be left with unexpected expenses, such as medical expenses and funeral bills, in addition to the emotional loss that has been suffered. In such cases, families have the option of seeking compensation in a wrongful death lawsuit.
By filing a wrongful death suit, family members can seek compensation for:
- Loss of decedent’s future income and support
- Decedent’s medical and funeral expenses
- Loss of love and companionship of decedent
- Loss of decedent’s pension or other benefits
- Punitive damages (if the conduct was reckless)
- Loss of decedent’s future income and support
- Decedent’s medical and funeral expenses
- Loss of love and companionship of decedent
- Loss of decedent’s pension or other benefits
- Punitive damages (if the conduct was reckless)
Wrongful death lawsuits seek to compensate certain family members for the loss of their loved one due to the negligence of another party. Negligence-related truck accidents are just one example of when such a lawsuit is appropriate. Virtually any type of fatal motor vehicle accident caused by the carelessness or neglect of a person qualifies as wrongful death. However, in most cases, only the victim’s spouse, children, and parents will be eligible to recover compensation.
