If you have lost a loved one after an accident with a semi-truck, a Riverside fatal truck accident lawyer from MD Accident Law can help your family. Our personal injury team is ready to discuss your claim during a free consultation.

Recoverable Losses from a Riverside Fatal Truck Accident

Dealing with the expenses of losing a family member unexpectedly can devastate the entire family. Fortunately, if you lost a loved one in an accident with a big rig and it wasn’t their fault, your family has options.

Costs that your family can seek after a fatal truck accident:

  • Medical expenses 
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Property damage to repair or replace their vehicle
  • Your loved one’s pain and suffering

When you lose a husband, wife, parent, child, or sibling, no amount of money can “make it right.” When our fatal truck accident attorney seeks compensation for your family, it is to try to make your lives as comfortable as possible. Our heart goes out to the remaining family members as they cope with grief. The family should not have additional financial burdens on top of that,

Paying for a Funeral and Burial You Weren’t Expecting

Funeral and burial expenses can range into tens of thousands of dollars. When a family experiences that expense after losing a valued family member, it can create catastrophic financial hardship. If someone’s negligence caused the death, your family deserves to receive compensation.

When you file a wrongful death claim, some of the expenses you might recover can include the following:

  • Embalming
  • Cremation (and an urn)
  • Graveside services
  • A burial space with a headstone
  • Other associated costs

A truck accident attorney can explain your options and assist in fighting for your family’s compensation.

Helping Your Family Recover after Losing a Loved One

When an accident results in a fatality, the family might be eligible to file a wrongful death claim against the at-fault driver or agent. Under Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 3-904, only certain family members are eligible to file to recover damages from the death of a loved one. A Riverside fatal truck accident lawyer can guide your family through filing a claim.

Hiring a Fatal Truck Accident Attorney Offers Benefits

There are many benefits to hiring a fatal truck accident lawyer on behalf of your lost family member. The family is typically in auto mode during any period after a deadly accident. You perform the tasks that need doing, but it is difficult as you process your grief and strive to keep your family unit running smoothly.

Your life doesn’t stop, but the bills can pile up rapidly. When a fatal truck accident attorney handles your claim, they will perform many tasks, such as:

  • Taking care of all the details
  • Investigating to establish the fault
  • Calculate the value of your claim
  • Conduct negotiations with the insurance company
  • Represent your family at all meetings, negotiations, and, if necessary, in court

Our compassionate car and truck accident team will handle the details so your family can grieve without worry.

Our Record Tells the Story of Our Successes

Depending on the circumstances of the accident that took your loved one, it may take time to obtain your compensation. Some of the factors that may affect how long the process takes can be:

  • The supporting evidence we find to prove your case
  • The total cost of your damages
  • How many parties are involved
  • How well the insurance companies cooperate

No matter how long it takes to fight for your compensation, you won’t incur any upfront fees from our team.

Starting with our free initial consultation, you won’t owe us a dime until we successfully resolve your claim and you receive compensation. Our fees and expenses will receive our payment when your family gets a compensation check from the insurance company or a court award for damages.

There Might be More Than One Liable Party in Your Riverside Fatal Truck Accident Case

You might consider not having legal representation after an accident. In straightforward cases, this can benefit you to receive a settlement offer quickly. When a fatality is involved, it becomes a bit more complicated, so it makes sense to consider a law firm to handle your claim.

With trucks, there may be more than one liable party. For instance, suppose the driver was tired and fell asleep, causing the accident. He may have been over-tired because their dispatcher had them on a long route with insufficient stops and rest periods. In this case, you can request compensation from the driver and the parent company.

Some of the other potentially liable parties can include:

  • Cargo-loading contracting firms
  • The truck manufacturer
  • Maintenance personnel
  • Parts manufacturers (for faulty components)
  • Municipal governments for failing to maintain roads in a safe condition

Speaking with a fatal truck accident attorney will provide you with several options to pursue compensation.

Maryland Has a Statute of Limitations That May Affect Your Fatal Truck Accident Case

When your family suffers a loss, they have three years from the date of the death to file a wrongful death lawsuit against the liable party per Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 3-904. If other injuries occurred in the same accident, the involved parties also have three years to begin a personal injury lawsuit per Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 5-101. 

We will ensure that any required documentation is submitted to meet all filing deadlines.
