Can You Get Compensation if a Pedestrian Dies in a Truck Accident?
Yes. If a pedestrian is killed in a truck accident, surviving family members may have the legal right to pursue compensation through a wrongful death claim. These cases are complex, as they involve not only traffic laws but also state and federal trucking regulations. Working with experienced wrongful death attorneys ensures that families understand their legal options and the potential damages available, such as funeral expenses, loss of income, medical bills, and pain and suffering.
Pedestrian fatalities involving trucks are particularly devastating. Skilled pedestrian accident attorneys can investigate the circumstances of the crash, determine liability, and hold negligent drivers, trucking companies, or other parties accountable.
Because commercial vehicles are heavily regulated, families often benefit from the expertise of California truck accident attorneys who understand how to uncover violations such as driver fatigue, overloaded cargo, or maintenance failures. If the crash occurred in Southern California, a trusted Los Angeles car accident attorney can provide local representation and guide families through every stage of the claim.
