Getting Answers and Pursuing Justice
There are many circumstances where the negligence of one person or corporation can have fatal consequences for someone else. Common situations that give rise to wrongful death claims include but are not limited to the following:
- Car accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Oilfield accidents
- Construction accidents
- Nursing home neglect and abuse
For family members who have been financially dependent on the person who has been so tragically taken from them, a wrongful death claim can be a way to replace the financial support that the family depended upon while adjusting to a sudden life-changing situation.
But beyond just the financial consequences, a wrongful death claim can help the loved ones of someone who has been killed hold the wrongdoer accountable and possibly prevent the same thing from happening to someone else.
Guiding You Through the Legal Process
A wrongful death claim is a lawsuit brought by the survivors of someone who has died against someone whose negligence allegedly caused that person's death. Closely related is the concept of a survival claim, which is brought by the deceased person's estate.
Our attorneys will guide you through all the necessary steps in bringing the claim or claims that are appropriate to your situation. This may involve setting up an estate and getting a personal representative appointed by the probate court.
