    Wrongful Death

    When someone you love has passed away, filing a lawsuit is the last thing you want to think about. Unfortunately, it is also important to consider because you have a limited time by law to do so. If you believe the negligent, intentional or wrongful conduct of another caused a family member to die, you should contact an experienced attorney so the wrongdoers are made to face their responsibility to the decedent and the decedent’s family.

    What can one recover when making a wrongful death claim?

    Expenses for funeral and burial
    The decedent’s lost income
    Medical expenses before he passing
    Household support that is lost
    Child rearing support lost
    Mental and retirement benefits lost
    Economic and other losses as a result of the death
    And mental anguish and suffering.

    Financial support that would have been provided by the loved one
    The family’s grief as a result of the death
    Compensation lost by the family
