Suddenly losing someone close to you is one of the most difficult experiences in life. This is especially true when you lose someone due to the negligence of another. In Florida and nationwide, wrongful deaths are a sad reality. If you are unsure, wrongful deaths transpire after a life is lost from the negligent behavior, reckless actions, or a deliberate act of another person.
Losing someone to a truck accident is a particularly traumatic experience to suffer through. Unfortunately, due to the shortage of commercial truck drivers the United States is experiencing, wrongful death truck accidents are becoming more prevalent. While nothing will make the process of losing a loved one easy, knowing how wrongful death truck accidents occur and important Florida laws can potentially provide clarity regarding your next steps. However, if you recently lost someone in a truck accident, it may be wise to contact a Miami wrongful death truck accident attorney to receive consultation on an individual basis. Contact Dante Law Firm, P.A. today.
Being familiar with wrongful death laws in Florida can help you form a decision regarding a claim. The first law to be familiar with is knowing who can represent a victim of a wrongful death. Children, parents, or spouses of the deceased can provide personal representation in wrongful death claims. In certain circumstances, family members outside the immediate can act as representatives.
As with any case, knowing the statute of limitations is vital. In Florida, the statute of limitations is two years after the incident. You should also be familiar with common damages that are awarded as a result of the wrongful death.
Damages include the ceremonial costs, such as funerals and burials, the family had to pay. Financial contributions lost, both since the incident and in the future, as a result of the wrongful death can also be awarded. Claims also cover any medical costs that were associated with the death. Less material things like the cost of emotional suffering and the loss of familial roles the decedent provided are also covered.
Due to their immense size, accidents resulting in fatalities are more likely. Additionally, when fatalities do occur in truck accidents, the passengers of other vehicles are overwhelmingly the victims. In 2016, more than 65 percent of all deaths involving commercial trucks were suffered by passengers of other vehicles.
A recent cause of wrongful death truck accidents is the shortage of commercial truck drivers in America. It is estimated that there are over 60,000 too few commercial drivers on the road. Such a shortage increases the likelihood of negligent driving practices such as driving exhausted, driving while under the influence of illicit substances and alcohol, and driving while failing to adhere to traffic laws.
Losing a loved one causes immense suffering. Nobody should have to experience additional hardship from financial woes. If you recently lost a loved one due to negligence, you might need a Miami wrongful death truck accident attorney. At the Dante Law Firm, P.A., our attorneys are here to stand by your side.
