Vehicles moving at high speeds on the roads of Idaho and Utah can trigger fatal harm in an instant. It doesn’t matter if the crash was caused by drunk driving, talking on a cell phone or just a moment of inattention — the victim’s surviving family members will have to deal with their loss for the rest of their lives. Loved ones looking for a measure of justice after a deadly car or truck crash within the two states rely on the Morgan Law Firm to bring wrongful death claims against liable motorists. Attorney David Morgan works these claims so that bereaved family members and estate representatives can secure reimbursement for funeral expenses, income that the decedent would have earned and other damages available under the law.
FATAL COLLISION MATTERS INVOLVING TRUCKS AND MOTORCYCLES
For years, our firm has achieved strong results in a full range of auto accident cases, including wrongful death actions. Wrongful death actions may involve:
- Motorcycles —A motorcycle accident is more likely to be fatal than an accident involving a car or truck because of the lack of protection. If your loved one was struck and killed while riding, we’ll investigate to determine if the driver was negligent.
- Trucks — The weight and power of a tractor-trailer or some other type of commercial vehicle can be deadly in a crash. After a fatal trucking accident, we look beyond the driver’s actions to see if the trucking company owner or other parties are also legally liable for the victim’s death due to failures in training or maintenance.
- Bicycles — A sideswipe, improper turn or suddenly opened door might have lethal consequences when motorists don’t share the road responsibly with cyclists. In wrongful death cases stemming from bicycle accidents, our firm prepares a comprehensive case to prove who is at fault.
- Pedestrians — Drivers on cell phones or who are otherwise distracted pose a risk to individuals in crosswalks. While a driver might be able to catch a glimpse of another vehicle out of the corner of their eye, they’re less likely to notice a person. Our firm works pedestrian accident cases aggressively to hold negligent drivers accountable.

OBTAINING FULL DAMAGES AFTER A TRAGIC LOSS
No judgment or settlement can ever truly compensate for a lost loved one, but our firm represents surviving heirs and estate representatives in claims designed to address expenses directly tied to the fatal incident and the effects caused by the victim’s death. Mr. Morgan works closely with clients to recover payment for funeral expenses, medical bills incurred before the decedent’s passing and compensation for the wages and benefits he or she would have earned through their lifetime. Damages can also cover the value of the household services that the victim provided to their loved ones.
