Western Oregon Wrongful Death Lawsuit

In the video below, Attorney Eric Hageman discusses how money won in a semi truck accident wrongful death case can be used to honor the memory of the loved one killed by a semi truck driver.

Wrongful death claims are statutory, meaning they are governed by specific laws that give the families the right to sue.

In most states, the person who brings a wrongful death lawsuit is called a "trustee." He or she is appointed by a judge to bring the wrongful death claim on behalf of the blood relatives and spouse of the person who died.

Anyone in your family can contact our law firm to talk to a wrongful death attorney about representing the family. Family members who may be part of a wrongful death lawsuit generally include the spouse, parents, children, grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews.

Every wrongful death lawsuit has "elements" that must be proved for the family to win the case. The elements required depend on the type of case, but usually include:

the breach of a duty on the part of the person sued
this breach caused the death
the family suffered harm (loss of income, loss of the care and comfort of the deceased and other "damages")

Our law firm is a national semi accident law firm for personal injury and wrongful death lawsuits. When we handle out-of-state cases in state or federal court, we retain the services of local counsel, who then move to have us admitted pro hac vice, meaning "for this particular occasion." We handle accident cases involving a semi truck hitting a car, motorcycle, van, bus, bicycle, pedestrian, etc.
