Wrongful Death

The death of a loved one is one of the most difficult experiences anyone can undergo, but it is a torture like no other when it did not have to happen but is the result of the wrongdoing of another person or company.

Common Causes of a Wrongful Death

A wrongful death can be the result of:

• medical malpractice;
• an automobile accident;
• an aviation accident;
• a defective product;
• a defective medical device;
• a bad prescription drug.

If you are grieving for a loved one whose death was caused by another person or the actions of a company, you may have a wrongful death suit. However, there are strict time limits you must meet to file a lawsuit. These time limits are complex and strictly enforced by the courts. It is in your best interest to speak to an attorney as soon as possible.

Though we understand that this is an excruciatingly difficult time for you, please be aware that it is critical that an investigation into the facts of the case be undertaken as soon as possible if you are considering filing a wrongful death case. This is necessary to preserve evidence, to get information while memories are fresh, and to avoid losing your right to bring a lawsuit.

Reasons To File A Case

You not only deserve to be compensated for your pain, suffering and loss, but, most importantly, you deserve to be free from your new financial hardships. With the loss of your loved one, you and your family may have a severe reduction in income and huge medical bills (depending on the situation). Payment for your and your family’s loss for the unnecessary death of a loved one is often critical to your and your family’s future.

Yet in most cases you will face an army of lawyers, an entire department at an insurance company, and the resources of a mega-corporation fighting you in order to avoid providing you the money you desperately need. In other words, their whole focus is to avoid claims or to settle with you for the least amount of money possible.
