The Process of Filing a Wrongful Death Claim After a Truck Accident

In Georgia, the spouse and children have primary standing to file a wrongful death claim. If the deceased has no spouse or children, the parents may file a claim. The estate of the deceased with no surviving spouse, children or parents may file a claim for the benefit of the next of kin.

After a wrongful death accident involving a truck, we typically file a claim against the driver and/or the trucking corporation. Family members may be entitled to such damages as:

  • Medical bills and other expenses arising from the accident
  • Funeral and burial costs
  • Future income the deceased would have earned
  • Value of future benefits, such as health insurance
  • Loss of companionship, care, security, guidance and love
  • Damages related to pain and suffering
  • Punitive damages for the defendants’ egregious conduct

Investigating a Tractor-Trailer Wrongful Death Claim

Drawing on Attorney Michael Gumprecht’s extensive background in the technology sector, our firm adopts the most advanced technological tools and investigative skills when handling tractor-trailer wrongful death claims. For example, we have substantial experience in computer forensics, which may uncover the trucking corporation’s negligent hours of service, texting or other dangerous policies and practices.

The Georgia wrongful death statute sets a strict two-year deadline for filing a claim in most cases. However, we recommend you not delay. Tractor-trailer claims are complex and usually have high-figure damages at stake.
