Wrongful Death

A wrongful death occurs when a person is killed due to the negligence or misconduct of another individual, company or organization. A legal action for wrongful death belongs to the decedent’s immediate family members, usually a surviving spouse and children, and sometimes parents.

The general rule in wrongful death cases is that one is entitled to recover both economic and non-economic damages which are suffered as a result of the loss of a loved one. Economic damages in a wrongful death case include an award for the financial contributions which the decedent would have made to his or her spouse, children and/or parents had he or she survived. It also includes the recovery for funeral service expenses in memory of the decedent and for burial cost. Non-economic damages include loss of love, society, companionship, comfort, affection, solace or moral support.

If you have been injured in any of the above scenarios, experienced counsel can help you negotiate the legal hurdles separating you from just compensation. Insurance companies will usually try to settle claims quickly and for as little as possible. We will be your voice in demanding that the insurer honors your full personal injury claim. We will provide you with direct legal help when handling your matter, and give compassionate, unwavering, legal guidance every step of the way.
