Should I File A Wrongful Death Lawsuit?

If your family member’s death was caused by the negligence of another party, you will have a right to seek compensation for losses such as:

• Funeral expenses
• Medical expenses incurred prior to death
• Pain and suffering prior to death
• Lost financial support
• Loss of consortium for a spouse
• Loss of love and affection
• Loss of society

Damages in a wrongful death case are typically paid by the insurance company of the at-fault party. While nothing can bring your family member back, filing a wrongful death can help the survivors deal with the financial and emotional issues caused by the death.

Proving negligence in a wrongful death case can be difficult. There may not be witnesses, or the only witness may be the person who caused the accident. It often takes a lawyer’s help to hold the negligent party accountable. Our lawyers will hire accident reconstructionists and investigators as necessary to give you the answers you need and help your family obtain a measure of justice.
