The death of a loved one is very difficult to accept, but it can be unbearable when that death is caused by someone's negligence, carelessness or illegal behavior. Attorneys who handle wrongful death cases and survival claims understand the emotional and financial devastation that the wrongful death of a loved one can create. Examples of such wrongful deaths include surgeons who negligently kill patients during surgery, companies who market dangerous products without adequately testing their safety, and drunk drivers who cause deadly accidents. Families of these victims can receive wrongful death compensation for the loss of potential earnings, emotional distress and suffering, and, in some cases, punitive damages.

In these tragic cases, there are complicated wrongful death laws which dictate what the surviving family members can recover for their loss and which surviving family members are entitled receive damages.  Court approval is required for any wrongful death settlement and there are tax consequences depending on how you proceed.  The surviving family may be entitled to benefits and different sources of recovery.  All of these options should be reviewed by a qualified experienced wrongful death lawyer.  All of our wrongful death attorneys have successfully counseled families during these difficult times.
