Liability Issues Resulting in Death.
On Interstate 85, a tractor trailer collides with a family vehicle stalled in the roadway due to the actions of a 3rd party, causing death to occupants of the family vehicle. We brought a wrongful death and survivorship claim against the trucking company and other insurance coverages available. The claim included John Doe claims, uninsured coverage claims, underinsured coverage claims, and stacking of insurance coverages. We initiated litigation against a sizeable trucking company and employed the services of accident reconstruction experts, who created a computer generated recreation of the accident sequence. Other experts on the claim included a trucking expert and medical experts. The case required an understanding of laws regarding the distribution of proceeds to minor children, structured settlements, and the understanding of laws unique to the operation of Tractor Trailer on the roadway.
