Nothing is more devastating than losing a loved one unexpectedly. When this happens, families are forced to not only deal with the emotional toll of their loss, but also the changes that occur in their everyday lives. A wrongful death lawsuit can never fully ease your loss, but it can reduce the challenges you’ll face as a survivor.
If you’ve lost a loved one because of someone else’s negligence, you have a right to take action. Filing a lawsuit can help you deal with your emotional loss without having to deal with financial struggles and other practical issues after your loss. It also provides you with the opportunity to hold accountable the person whose negligence led to your loss.
Dealing with the Aftermath of Wrongful Death
We’ll focus on the legal aspects of your cases, while you focus on recovering from your loss.
Our team understands the challenges you face after losing a loved one. We’ll help you recover the money you deserve, and provide you with the guidance and support you need during this difficult time. Legal action might be the last thing you’re considering right now, but it’s our goal to make sure you don’t find yourself in a dire financial situation as a result of your loss.
We have experience handling a variety of wrongful death lawsuits and we’ve worked with clients who have lost loved ones as the result of:
- Motor vehicle accidents
- Property owner negligence
- Defective or malfunctioning products
- Medical malpractice
- Bus and mass transit accidents
We understand no amount of compensation can ease the pain you are feeling. We can’t “make everything better” or bring back your loved one. But we can help you alleviate the financial burdens you might face as the result of your loss.
Are You Eligible to File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit?
Not everyone can file a wrongful death lawsuit. Only certain family members are eligible to receive compensation after the loss of a loved one. Wrongful death compensation is intended for those directly financially affected by the victim’s death.
Potential awards can be for both financial and non-financial damages, and might include compensation for:
- Lost future earnings
- Loss of support and companionship
- Suffering related to the mental anguish of losing a loved one
Our personal injury attorneys can help you take action if you’ve lost a loved one because of someone else’s negligence. We know we can’t take away your pain, nor can we put the pieces back together for your family. We understand money isn’t your priority, but we also understand how difficult it can be to face an uncertain financial future after losing a loved one. Receiving financial compensation can reduce your stress and provide your family with opportunities that would otherwise be lost because your loved one died.
Our goal is to make sure that doesn’t happen and that your future is as stress-free as possible
