"I am so very grateful to have had this firm represent me. I was in a car accident a few years ago, but the car insurance company of the person who totaled my car would not replace my car, nor pay for my medical bills. We ended up going to court and because of Mr. Pickett, we won the case. Thank you so much for all you did for us!!!!"

Determining Liability in Fatal Truck Accidents in Titusville

Your truck accident wrongful death lawyer will need to figure out how your loved one’s death occurred. Your loved one’s trucking accident could have been caused by: 

• Defective or malfunctioning parts
• Lost loads
• Negligent driving
• Irresponsible truck drivers 
• Negligent trucking companies

Trucking companies, in particular, can be held accountable when their truckers operate big rigs in an unsafe manner, fail to properly vet truckers before putting them on the roads, or refuse to take necessary safety precautions. A thorough investigation into your Titusville fatal truck accident claim will uncover all potentially liable parties.

We will seek the compensation your family needs from the at-fault party. If there is more than one party at fault for the accident, we will identify them. Then, we can file an insurance claim or a lawsuit against more than one party. 

Statute of Limitations for Titusville Fatal Truck Accident Lawsuits

There are state-imposed time limits for filing lawsuits. Your family must take action on your wrongful death lawsuit as soon as possible. The statute of limitations for wrongful death lawsuits is just two years, according to Florida Statutes § 95.11(4)(d). 

If your lawsuit is not filed before the statute of limitations runs out, you could be barred from pursuing a wrongful death case in Titusville civil courts. This may make it difficult or impossible for your family to get justice. Fortunately, the sooner you get started on your case, the more likely it is we can gather the evidence needed to prove liability and avoid issues with the statute of limitations.

Who Can File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

According to Florida Statutes § 768.20, only the decedent’s personal representative can file a wrongful death lawsuit. Sometimes, the decedent will have appointed a personal representative in their Will. Wrongful death victims do not always have a Will prepared before they pass. 

The Florida Bar states that to be a personal representative, a person must: 

• Be at least 18 years old 
• Have no felony convictions 
• Be mentally and physically able to perform the necessary duties

Our Titusville, FL fatal truck accident lawyer can help you determine who might serve as the personal representative.

Rebecca Collura

If you are reading this you may have been in a car accident which I am sure has disrupted your life as it did mine. Dealing with your insurance company will be impossible and their goal is to give you the least amount of money possible regardless of your injuries. It is a slow process and you have to be patient. Andrew Pickett will work extremely hard to get you enough money to take care of past and potential future expenses. He is extremely good at what he does and his support staff are attentive and responsive as well. Personally I wouldn't be a number at one of those big firms that advertise on TV. Andrew was completely involved in my case and took great care of me. Stay strong, I pray the pain will lessen for you, and let Andrew fight for you!

Response from the owner: Thank you, Rebecca! What a thoughtful review. It was an honor to represent you.
