The filing of a wrongful death lawsuit can compensate family members for their loss and obtain a measure of justice for the heartbreak of losing a loved one. We offer a free initial consultation to evaluate your case and answer your questions.
Compensating Family Members
The civil justice system is about obtaining financial compensation for victims. Even if the death was the result of an "accident," the responsible party can be held responsible in civil court.
The amount of damages in a wrongful death lawsuit depends on factors such as:
- The callousness or recklessness of the responsible party
- The economic and non-economic support provided to you by the deceased person
- The age of the person who died
- Medical expenses and pain and suffering experienced by your family member before he or she died
- Mental shock, suffering, grief, sorrow, wounded feelings, loss of companionship provided to you by the deceased person
To adequately assess the value of your wrongful death claim, our lawyers use economists and other experts who can testify in court about how the death of a loved one will financially effect you and your family in the future. You will only owe attorney fees in a wrongful death case when our lawyers obtain a recovery for you.
