The death of a family member is a devastating experience. Though nothing can bring your loved one back, it may be possible to file a wrongful death lawsuit in order to hold the negligent party responsible and recover compensation for the loss. While not the same as the emotional loss you experience, compensable financial losses can include medical expenses incurred before death, funeral and memorial service costs, the loss of care and companionship, and any other loss of monetary support that individual would have contributed (such as health insurance benefits through their employment, job income and future retirement benefits).

Wrongful deaths can occur as the result of work-related injuries, car accidents, medical malpractice, pharmacy prescription errors or by the use of defective products or drugs. Economic damages are often the key to a wrongful death suit, but our creative attorneys can present a wide range of damage claims based upon the facts of each case.
