Semi Truck Accident Wrongful Death

Our attorneys have won wrongful death cases against trucking companies.

In wrongful death cases, there is no amount of money that can ever undo the tragedy. Nonetheless, in a wrongful death case, we are trying to achieve some measure of justice and hold someone or some entity accountable for what happened.

What we often see in wrongful death cases is that the settlement or verdict we are able to obtain does some good in honoring the memory of the loved one who died. We recently saw this in a case involving a semi truck accident. We represented the family of a 16-year-old boy who was killed due to the negligence of the semi truck driver.

After we achieved the settlement in the wrongful death case, the family set up a foundation that awarded scholarships in the name of their son who died. The scholarship fund awarded scholarships to high school age children who were pursuing a course of study their son would have pursued. In that way, the family was able to see that good came out of something that was so tragic.
