Wrongful Death Attorney
Wrongful death is a death caused by any negligent or reckless act. It can occur in various situations, such as train wrecks, construction accidents, medical malpractice, nursing home neglect and automobile crashes. When someone's negligence or recklessness causes the death of a loved one, surviving family members are entitled to be compensated for their loss. Often the surviving spouse and children are devastated, not only emotionally, but financially, by the loss of a loved one. Our office has received verdicts and settled many wrongful death cases for families. Aside from conducting a complete investigation into the circumstances surrounding the death, a crucial part of these cases involve extensive use of experts, such as economists and other consultants, to prove the dollar amount of lifetime financial support the deceased would have provided to the surviving family member. Although the family is entitled to compensation for loss of love and companionship, often, if established with appropriate evidence, loss of financial support can be a very large component of recoverable damages. We are dedicated to providing our clients with the resources
necessary to successfully prosecute their wrongful death claims. If
a loved one has died from a negligent or reckless act of another, we
urge you to contact our office.
For many of these cases, it is critical to begin an immediate investigation
into the cause of death before crucial evidence is no longer available.
