Wrongful Death From a Truck Accident

Answer:

Anywhere on Idaho roads where there’s a collision involving a semi-truck or 18-wheeler, there is a high risk that somebody will be killed. These vehicles kill many people on our highways and trying to make our highways safer is one of the rules of injury law. When someone is killed, what happens is a wrongful death claim exists. If you are an heir, under the terms of Idaho’s law, Idaho code 5311, you have the opportunity and the right to pursue that wrongful death claim.

Wrongful death claims are their own unique area of law. You want people representing you who are experienced trial lawyers who have tried wrongful death cases and received verdicts from Idaho juries, particularly with a wrongful death case involving commercial drivers. Professional commercial drivers who cause deaths have a greater responsibility than other drivers, and Idaho juries understand that as long as a quality Idaho trial attorney is providing that information and telling the tale of what happened to the jury. If you’ve lost a loved one in a collision with an Idaho commercial driver, you should give us a call so we can talk to you about how you can move forward.
