Q:
Who is entitled to benefits after a wrongful death accident caused by a distracted truck driver?

We are saddened to hear that you lost someone close to you in a South Florida truck accident. Truck drivers and their trucking companies may be liable for the wrongful death accident that claimed the life of your loved one.
Although not everyone is entitled to benefits in a wrongful death lawsuit, survivors of the decedent are. If someone can show that they were dependent on that person financially and will experience a financial loss due to their passing, then they may be entitled to claim benefits under a wrongful death lawsuit in Florida.
Certain people who may be eligible for benefits under a wrongful death suit include:

Children
Spouse
Parents
Siblings
Grandparents
Nephews and nieces
Other relatives

By pursuing a wrongful death lawsuit, you may be able to collect for medical expenses, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship loss of support, and instances of pain and suffering. You may also be entitled to pursue punitive damages if the truck accident was proven to have been caused by the truck driver’s reckless behavior.
