Frequently Asked Questions
I am in the process of grieving my loss. Why is it important to act now?
Whenever someone dies due to negligence, it is usually due to a sudden situation. Many times, this untimely death does not allow next-of-kin to even think about a potential claim. Insurance companies know this and use this to their advantage. Wrongful death claims can (and should) cost insurance companies a lot of money so their defense begins immediately. It is important that family members begin pursuing any wrongful death claim as soon as possible.
My family's wrongful case is a slam dunk. I don't need a lawyer, right?
Wrong. No claim is a slam dunk. In our experience, even the most obvious wrongful death claims are contested. Even if negligence (duty, breach of duty, damages) proves to be admitted by an at-fault party, damages (medical bills, pain and suffering, loss of spousal support, etc...) will likely remain an issue. It is important that a lawyer ensures your family's rights are protected and they are fully compensated.
How much is my family entitled to?
Every case is different. Although it is difficult to place a price tag on a life, we must do just that in order for family members to recover for their loss. Some of the factors in evaluating what a wrongful death a claim is worth include:
- Whether liability is an issue;
- Life expectancy;
- Whether there is a claim for punitive damages;
- Projected future earnings;
- Number of beneficiaries;
- Incurred medical bills and funeral expenses; and
- Relationship to the deceased.
