• Wrongful Death
  This wrongful death claim was brought against the automobile insurance company of the deceased who was involved in a fatal collision. The claimant was operating a 1995 freightliner logging truck traveling north on highway 40 and the at fault driver who was operating a 1995 Buick failed to stop for a stop light and unlawfully entered the roadway and collided with the logging and caused it to violently strike an embankment off the roadway. When the logging truck hit the embankment the logs from said truck came through the cab and struck the claimant tragically causing his death. The at fault driver was uninsured. The deceased personally owned said logging truck. On behalf of the personal representative for the claimant’s estate we brought an uninsured motorist claim against the deceased’s automobile insurance company and asserted that the deceased’s estate was entitled to the full policy limits available under the uninsured motorist coverage he had on his logging truck and the full policy limits available under the uninsured motorist coverage he had on the 4 other vehicles he owned.
