In many respects, the wrongful death litigation process is similar to the steps that are taken in personal injury litigation. In both types of actions, it’s important to retain an experienced lawyer so that you understand the legal issues and the potential value of your claim. Our firm represents clients in wrongful death cases arising from:

• • Auto accidents — After a fatal auto accident, we investigate the facts thoroughly to find each party who was liable, including drivers, manufacturers and government entities. Our lawyers then seek damages from each party according to their proportion of fault.
  • Unsafe premises — Poor security, unsafe walking surfaces and other hazards can have deadly consequences. If a property owner or someone else violated their legal duty of care, we’ll make every effort to hold them responsible.
  • Medical malpractice — Proving that a loved one died due to medical malpractice can be a significant challenge. We bring in medical experts to determine if a failure to meet professional standards of care led to the fatality.
  • Defective products — If a product’s negligent design or manufacture triggered an accident causing the death of a family member, we have the skill and experience to take on the defendants and their insurers so you can get a measure of justice.

We assist clients on a contingency basis in wrongful death claims, so you do not have to pay legal fees until and unless a financial recovery is obtained through a judgment or settlement.
