WHAT IS WRONGFUL DEATH?

Wrongful death is a legal term used to describe when a person is killed due to another party's negligent or intentional actions. Wrongful death can have long-lasting effects, not only for the deceased's immediate family but also for their extended family and community. These claims typically include medical expenses, loss of companionship, lost wages and other economic losses, pain, and suffering endured by the deceased before their death, funeral expenses, and punitive damages. The top causes of wrongful deaths include medical malpractice, motor vehicle accidents, dangerous drugs, defective products, workplace injuries, and criminal behavior. We take the time to listen to you, explain as clearly as possible how your situation affects the law, and give you the attention you need because we know these problems can be complicated.
