In a semi-truck accident, it’s rarely the truck driver who suffers any injury. The other vehicles, however, often suffer severe damage, and both passengers and drivers can be killed. If you’ve lost a loved one in a fatal truck accident, you may be entitled to compensation for your losses and expenses. The experienced attorneys at Hinkle Law Offices, LLC., may be able to help you collect.
In 2014, there were nearly 4,000 people killed in crashes involving large trucks, and nearly 75% of those fatalities were individuals in the other cars. When a smaller vehicle is involved in an accident, it’s almost always the smaller vehicle that suffers the most damage, including more injuries and a greater chance of a fatality.
The average cost of a funeral in the United States is between $7,000 and $10,000—money that comes out of your pocket because of someone else’s negligence. Not only are you dealing with the grief of losing a loved one, but you have to balance the additional stress of the financial burden that follows.
This is an incredibly difficult time for you. Dealing with grief as well as the financial burdens of an unexpected death makes everything much harder to handle. And legal representation that will protect your interests and provide supportive, personal attention is vital if you’re going to get the justice you deserve.
