Areas of Practice | Wrongful Death
Wrongful Deaths are the result of the negligence, carelessness, or reckless act of another person or corporation. Some common causes of wrongful death include: car accidents, motorcycle accidents, truck accidents, bus accidents, drunk drivers, pedestrian accidents, construction accidents, and defective products.

A family who has lost a loved one due to negligent, carelessness or intentional actions of another may be entitled to monetary compensation under wrongful death law. Although no amount of compensation could ever replace a loved one or take away the pain associated with a loss, obtaining justice through monetary damages can bring a sense of justice and ease financial worries related to the family member’s death.

If a wrongful death has occurred to a loved one, you may be entitled to the following damages:
  • Compensation for your pain and suffering
  • Recovering the loss of earnings of the descendant
  • Compensation for your loss of companionship
  • Reimbursement for burial and funeral expenses
  • Recovery of your present and future financial losses
  • Reimbursement for your out of pocket expenses
  • Reimbursement or payments of any medical expenses incurred.
