Wrongful Death

Unfortunately, no matter how carefully and responsibly a person behaves, accidents can still happen just about anywhere.  Whether on the road, in a retail store, or even in the hospital, sometimes a person can become injured – or even killed – through no fault of their own.

Wrongful death and serious injury claims most often stem from:

• Auto Accidents
• Workplace error
• Poor construction design
• Pedestrian accidents
• Medical misdiagnosis or mistakes
• Slip/Trip and falls
• Boating/Water vessel accidents

Negligence

The key to filing a wrongful death lawsuit is determining that another party was negligent.  This means that someone else failed to act in a reasonable, responsible way and that their action or inaction caused your injury. 

A negligent party could be:

• A drunk or inattentive driver
• A landlord who failed to properly clear a walkway
• A doctor who fell below the acceptable standard of care

Your insurance company won’t help you file a lawsuit.  Only a wrongful death lawyer can help you get the money to which you may be entitled.  If another party is responsible for your accident, they can potentially be liable for your medical bills, damages, pain and suffering and perhaps more.
