Our attorneys can help you in with wrongful death claims. Dealing with the death of a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences in life. Our grief magnifies when the death results from someone’s negligence.

Just like those injured in an auto accident or a medical negligence case, family members of someone who died due to the negligence of another are often eligible to file wrongful death claims. These actions allow for compensation for economic damages (things like medical bills and lost wages) as well as non-economic damages (loss of time, services, etc.).

Wrongful Death Claims – There are damages to recover

Our wrongful death attorneys have helped many grieving families get compensation for things like:

Medical bills—Unfortunately, medical bills are not discharged by death.
Lost wages—Surviving family members lose support in a variety of ways when their loved ones die, including the financial support of wages or salary.
Funeral costs—Funeral and burial/cremation services are expensive, but essential.

Wrongful Death Claims – There is a time to file

Time is often critical with wrongful death claims due to the potential loss of evidence and also the statute of limitations. A “statute of limitations” is a term used by courts to establish the deadline in which to file a lawsuit. The length of the statute of limitations differs between states and also differs between types of cases. The intent of the statute is promoting fairness and keeping old cases from clogging the court system. If the statute of limitations expires, the suit is lost forever.
