Wrongful Death Lawsuit Filed Against Man In Drunk Driving Accident

The family of Syblen and Andrew McAbee, both of whom were killed in a car accident by a drunk driver, have filed a wrongful death lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed in an Anderson, South Carolina court, seeks money damages against not only the drunk driver, but also the driver's employer (Craft Construction Company) because the drunk driver was operating the construction company's truck at the time of the tragic accident.

As with any wrongful death lawsuit, the named Plaintiff's include the survivors (the children) and the victims' estate. The named Defendant is Robin Blair and there were a total of three people who lost their lives.

The Defendant Robin Blair was charged with DUI and his criminal prosecution will no doubt assist in the prosecution of the wrongful death lawsuit.

Wrongful Death: Truck Accident Lawsuits On Horizon After Pileup in Florida

Numerous people are expected to file lawsuits, including for wrongful death, shortly after a pileup involving multiple 18 Wheelers in Orlando, Florida this past week. The potential Plaintiffs are sifting through all of the evidence and facts to determine exactly who will be named as Defendants in the lawsuit. It is a foregone conclusion that one or more of the tractor trailer drivers and their respective companies will be named in the complaint.

The pileup involved a couple of minivans and one of the potential plaintiffs is barely hanging on with life support. Florida officials were in the process and in fact did start a fire to burn dry brush, so the State could be named as a Defendant. Time will tell. No matter who are ultimately named as Defendants in this wrongful death lawsuit, it is sad and tragic.

Accidents like these could and should be avoided. If you or a loved one has been injured or killed in an 18 wheeler truck accident like this one, please contact my law office, Sam Levine, Attorney at Law, for a free consultation.

Family Weighs Wrongful Death Lawsuit Against Truck Driver

The family of a Florida woman is considering filing a wrongful death lawsuit against another truck driver following what has been described as a fiery crash that took place in rural Alabama just before Christmas. One of the two trucks, the log hauler, pulled out in front of another trucker, Deborah Fields, causing her to strike the rear of the log hauler.

The log hauler was cited for failure to yield the right of way and now faces criminal charges. It is unlikely that the family of the 18 wheeler operator will not file suit under these tragic circumstances.

Also facing a potential wrongful death lawsuit is the log hauling company itself given that the log hauler was oin the job at the time of the truck accident.
