Wrongful Death

Families who have lost loved ones in preventable accidents may be eligible to file a wrongful death lawsuit. This type of lawsuit can compensate a deceased person’s surviving family members for damages related to the accident, including pain and suffering endured by the family, loss of companionship, loss of benefits and financial support, medical bills incurred prior to the death, and costs for the funeral and burial.

People who cause fatal accidents because of their negligence can and should be held accountable for their actions (or lack of action) in a court of law.
