Wrongful Death

Wrongful death claims are claims brought by the survivors of an individual that has passed away due to the negligence or misconduct of some other person. Wrongful death claims allow the family members who depended upon the deceased to recover monetary damages. Most times taking legal action may not be the first priority for those who have lost a loved one, as most times you are mourning. It is important to contact legal counsel as soon as possible as there are certain statutes of limitations that may bar recovery. There may also be other family members with competing claims that could affect your recovery.
