Who Can File a Wrongful Death Claim After a Fatal Truck Accident?
If you lost a loved one in a fatal truck accident caused by someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing, you may have grounds for a wrongful death claim. The victim’s surviving family members may bring a wrongful death claim against the at-fault party to seek compensation and hold the negligent party accountable.
Through a wrongful death claim, you can pursue damages for the financial and emotional losses resulting from your loved one’s death. Beyond financial compensation, pursuing a wrongful death claim can provide some sense of justice and closure during this challenging time.
Generally, immediate family members, such as a spouse or partner and children, may file a wrongful death claim. In some cases, parents, siblings, and other relatives or individuals who can inherit the deceased’s estate under intestate succession laws may file a claim. However, each state has its own laws about eligibility.Â
If you are unsure about whether you have the legal right to file a wrongful death claim, we recommend consulting an experienced fatal truck accident lawyer. We can determine your eligibility and guide you through your state’s legal requirements during a free consultation.

What Types of Compensation Are Available in a Wrongful Death Claim?
When a fatal truck accident occurs, surviving family members often face substantial financial and emotional hardships. While no amount of money can truly compensate for the loss of a loved one, obtaining fair compensation can help ease some of the financial burdens you may now be facing. Here are some examples of common types of damages that may be available in a wrongful death claim:
- Medical expenses. Medical expenses include costs for any treatment or care the deceased received before their passing, such as emergency care, hospital stays, and surgeries.
- Pain and suffering. If your loved one experienced conscious pain and suffering before passing, you may be able to pursue those damages on the deceased’s behalf.
- Funeral and burial expenses. Surviving family members are often left to handle immediate costs such as funeral services, cremation, or burial. These costs can be recovered in a wrongful death claim.
- Loss of financial support. Typically, the most significant financial hardship of losing a loved one is the loss of their income, especially if they were the primary household earner. Compensation may include the past and projected future earnings the deceased would have provided if they were still alive.
- Loss of companionship. The emotional toll of losing a spouse, parent, or child can be immense. While it’s difficult to put a price on these losses, courts often recognize the importance of awarding damages for loss of consortium and companionship.
The list above is not exhaustive of the types of compensation you may be able to recover in a wrongful death claim. An experienced fatal truck accident lawyer can help you determine which damages apply to your situation and pursue the compensation your family deserves.

Best experience I've ever had with an attorney, got my case handled by Mia who has known exactly what to do at every single point of my case. Very satisfied with everything and am expecting my case to finish wrapping up soon.
I can't say how great it feels to have a team of attorneys working to help with my truck accident. It's such a relief knowing I can leave all the back and forth with the insurance people to them and know they will do a great job.
Last week my check came in the mail and it was a moment of pure relief knowing I've been able to get past this chapter of my life and get back to being the best mom and partner I can be. Bless you.
I wanted to get in touch with an attorney who could help with my case after I was hit from behind on the freeway. This team picked up my call right away and gave me all the information the insurance didn't want me knowing. I'm able to focus on the doctor's therapy while the lawyers work on my case.
