Wrongful Death Claims Lawyer

When someone is killed due to the negligence or misconduct of another person or an entity, like a corporation, this tragedy is classified as a wrongful death. The victim’s family can sue the responsible party or parties in a wrongful death case to receive both actual and punitive damages. Wrongful death lawyer Dwayne L. Brown understands that any lawsuit arising from a death is sensitive and complicated, and he works hard for families in Alabama during this difficult time.

A wrongful death case may arise from numerous things including:

  • Defective Products
  • Medical Malpractice
  • Nursing Home or Hospital Accidents/Neglect
  • Workplace Accidents
  • Vehicle Accidents

The key to proving wrongful death is establishing negligence, which is said to exist if the following is true:

  • The defendant had a duty to the deceased and/or to members of the public
  • The defendant failed in that duty
  • The fatality was caused by the defendant’s breach of duty
  • The survivors are damaged as a result of the loss of their loved one

Other important factors in a wrongful death case include:

  • The relationship of the survivor(s) with the deceased
  • The joint life expectancy of the deceased and/or the survivors
  • The non-economical or emotional loss suffered by the survivor(s)

It is important to not delay in considering your options in wrongful death claims. In most cases, there are time limitations on when a claim can be made.

    Rafiq A.

    My family and I met Attorney Dwayne Brown after the unfortunate accident involving my niece. Attorney Brown did an exceptional job representing my family. He was the consummate professional, and treated my family with the utmost dignity and respect. As a result of his representation, my family was able to achieve a substantial settlement in our case. Although we obviously did not get our loved back, we are prayerful that we met Attorney Brown. My family would highly recommend Attorney Brown to anyone in a similar situation.

    Michael L.

    An excellent and professional lawyer. He took on a car accident case on my behalf, worked with me from across the country, and was just as vigorous in his pursuit of justice on day 912 as he was on day 1.

Attorney Brown resolved my case to my absolute satisfaction and did an excellent job. I highly recommend his services.
