Experienced Wrongful Death Representation

Has your family suffered the tragic and unnecessary death of a family member caused by someone else's negligence or recklessness? Wrongful death is a legal term that refers to situations where someone is fatally injured because of the negligence, recklessness or intentional acts of another person or company. Wrongful death cases may come about in a number of different contexts, including motor vehicle accidents, workplace accidents, products liability, nursing home negligence or abuse, and medical malpractice. The primary aim of the wrongful death law is to provide relief through compensation to the injured parties for the damages incurred as a result of the wrongful death of a loved one.

A wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent party is generally initiated by or on behalf of the spouse, children or family of the decedent, through their lawyer. A plaintiff in a wrongful death action may be able to recover damages such as:

• Reimbursement of hospital and medical care
• Reimbursement of funeral and burial expenses
• Compensation for the financial aid the deceased would have provided in the future
• Compensation for the loss of companionship, affection, love and moral support the deceased would have provided
