Wrongful Death Claims Lawyer

Anytime you lose a loved one, it feels wrong. There is no greater pain than losing someone you love. While losing anyone can be painful, it can be more traumatic when it is caused by someone else’s negligence. Catastrophic injuries are always a tragedy and leave lasting scars on so many people who loved the deceased. In legal terms, preventable fatalities are referred to as wrongful death claims. While no amount of money can replace a human life, it can give some justice and relief for those left behind.

Wrongful death claims are civil lawsuits, typically when criminal charges are not filed or criminal charges fail to reach a guilty verdict. The objective is to hold a person, company or entity accountable for negligent actions that resulted in a preventable death. Only certain people can file a wrongful death claim, usually a close family member such as a spouse or child. In some cases, a parent may be able to pursue a claim. Wrongful death claims can seek compensation for actual damages, such as medical bills, funeral costs and loss of income. They can also recoup punitive damages for pain and suffering caused to the bereaved family.

Types of Wrongful Death Lawsuits

Negligence that results in a wrongful death claim comes in many forms. Some of the common types of wrongful death lawsuits include:

  • Fatality vehicle accidents
  • Medical malpractice
  • Nursing home abuse
  • Product liability or manufacturer defects

    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 represent me on a case involving a motor vehicle. Another attorney indicated they could not help and I was recommended to attorney Brown by a well-respected member of my community. Attorney Brown resolved my case to my absolute satisfaction and did an excellent job. I highly recommend his services.
