Losing a loved one in a sudden accident is devastating. When that loss is caused by someone else’s negligence, the pain is even greater. In Orlando, families often face wrongful death claims after car and truck accidents on highways, city streets, and busy intersections.
Common Causes of Fatal Vehicle Accidents
- Distracted driving such as texting or using GPS.
- Speeding and reckless driving on I-4 and other high-traffic roads.
- Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Truck accidents caused by overloaded trailers, driver fatigue, or mechanical failures.
Fatal accidents involving large trucks are particularly tragic. The size and weight of an 18-wheeler often cause catastrophic results for pedestrians, cyclists, and smaller vehicles.
The Legal Process for Families
Wrongful death claims in Florida allow surviving family members to seek justice for both financial and emotional losses. Compensation may include:
- Funeral and burial expenses.
- Medical costs before death.
- Loss of companionship and guidance.
- Loss of household income and future support.
An experienced Orlando wrongful death attorney investigates the crash, collects accident reports, consults accident reconstruction experts, and pursues claims against all responsible parties.
