Killed by a Drunk Semi Truck Driver:
Lawyer for Wrongful Death Lawsuit

If your husband, wife, child, parent, sister, brother or grandparent was killed by a drunk semi truck driver, you may have a claim for wrongful death compensation. Other family members may also have compensation available, depending on the facts of the case and the applicable law.

Wrongful death is a statutory claim, meaning a specific wrongful death statute will govern what compensation is available:

All states allow for the recovery of lost income the decedent would have provided his loved ones.
Most states do not allow recovery for grief or anger suffered by the surviving heirs, but do allow money damages for the loss of advice, care, comfort and companionship the deceased would have provided had he or she lived.
Some states also allow money damages for the pain and suffering of the deceased person prior to death.
In some wrongful death semi truck drunk driver cases, punitive damages are awarded.
