Hit by a semi truck at 6 mo pregnant

Involved in a semi-truck accident while six months pregnant

I was involved in an accident with a semi-truck when I was six months pregnant, and the truck driver was cited for following too closely. Since my child was unborn at the time, am I still able to file a claim on their behalf? I’m planning to represent myself, as I have soft tissue injuries.

  1. I’m sorry to hear about your accident; that must be incredibly stressful for you. Yes, you can typically file a claim on behalf of your unborn child, especially if the accident has caused you injuries that could affect your child post-birth. In many jurisdictions, unborn children can be considered in personal injury claims, particularly in cases where the mother suffered injuries that may impact the child’s health.

    You should gather all relevant medical records, accident reports, and documentation of your injuries. It’s also a good idea to consult with a personal injury attorney who can help you understand the specific laws in your area and give you guidance on how to best present your case. Even if you’re representing yourself, having expert advice could be invaluable. Take care and best of luck with your recovery and your claim!
