Fatal truck accidents are the cause of thousands of deaths every year in the United States. The majority of these accidents are caused by acts of negligence. It is incredibly common for innocent people to lose their lives as a result of truck drivers who fail to yield to other motorists while traveling on the road. We also see a significant number of fatal truck accidents take place due to drivers who run red lights or stop signs at intersections.
In addition to driver negligence, negligent hiring practices performed by trucking companies, inadequate maintenance, and even overloaded cargo continue to be leading factors in many of the fatal incidents that we see. After losing a loved one in a fatal truck crash, your family has the ability to seek financial compensation for the damages you face. This can include economic damages, such as lost earnings, funeral costs, and burial expenses, as well as noneconomic damages, such as pain and suffering and loss of consortium.
