Wrongful Death

Wrongful death occurs when an individual is fatally injured due to the negligence of another person, company, or entity. In such cases, immediate family members, including parents, spouses, and children, are almost always eligible to file a claim. Minors who are filing a claim may need an adult guardian to take the wrongful death lawsuit to court. Some states also permit additional family members, such as step-parents, grandparents, and dependents to file suit.

In addition to the severe emotional trauma caused by a sudden death, there are other factors that weigh heavily on the shoulders of the dependents. If an injustice has occurred, grief may be prolonged. Anticipated earnings until the expected time of retirement, as well as medical bills and other expenses, is an issue which needs to be addressed. Our attorneys will fight for your family's rights in court. We can seek compensation for families of the deceased to cover the following:

• Medical and Funeral Costs
• Lost Wages Including Future Earnings
• Lost Benefits
• Lost Inheritance
• Pain and Suffering
• Mental Anguish
