A fatal truck accident in Louisville presents complex legal issues for the surviving family of the victim(s).  When a person loses their life in a fatal truck accident in Louisville or anywhere in Kentucky it is known as a “wrongful death.”  Under Kentucky law, a wrongful death action provides compensation to surviving family members for the loss of their loved one.

Nothing can prepare a family for the sudden and tragic loss of a family member, and nothing can replace the loss of the time and experiences you would have shared with a spouse, child or parent.  The experienced Louisville wrongful death attorneys at Hargadon, Lenihan & Herrington (HLH) have represented Louisville family members since 1924 in wrongful death cases.

Your family members may be able to recover monetary damages for wrongful death and loss of consortium damages designed to help compensate you for many things, such as:

• The loss of the affection and companionship of your spouse
• The loss of the parent-child relationship
• The loss of financial support
• The loss of future wages
