Wrongful Death

Wrongful death cases are those in which an individual has died as the consequence of another party's recklessness, negligence, or intentional harm. The surviving family members of a person who has suffered a wrongful death must deal with a great amount of loss—emotional losses, financial losses, and changes in daily life. Our firm counsels and represents the families of wrongful death victims.

Misconduct by Another

The misconduct of a company, a person, or another entity may be the basis of wrongful deaths in circumstances such as:

• Motor vehicle collisions (including car accidents, SUVs, trucks and motorcycles)
• Medical malpractice
• Airplane crashes
• Homicide or assault
• Unsafe premises, whether in public places or on the job (premises liability)
• Dangerous or defective products (including drugs)

When a wrongful death occurs, the people or entities who are responsible can be held liable.

Compensation for Your Losses

The untimely and wrongful loss of a loved one is difficult enough to handle, but there are many additional kinds of loss following a wrongful death which the survivors will have to confront. At our firm, experienced and compassionate personal injury attorneys work to obtain compensation for these losses, including:

• Medical, hospital, funeral, and burial expenses
• Compensation for the deceased's pain and suffering during any period of consciousness between the time of injury and death
• Loss of financial support from the deceased, including his or her future earnings
• Loss of parental training and guidance, or loss of a spouse’s companionship
• Lost benefits
• Lost inheritance

Wrongful Death Statutes of Limitations

Federal and state statutes of limitations put a limit on the amount of time in which an individual can file a wrongful death claim. If you suspect or know that the death of your family member was due to the intentional harm or negligence of another party, you can contact our firm for a no-commitment, confidential consultation in which we can answer your questions and concerns.
