What Is Wrongful Death?
A wrongful death is defined as the loss of life of a person due to another person’s actions. These actions can be intentional, pre-meditated, or unintentional, but the fact is that a life has been lost because of another’s actions. Wrongful death cases have no connection to criminal action, so even if the defendant is cleared of the crime, the victim’s loved ones can still file a wrongful death civil action lawsuit.

He will work aggressively to hold the responsible person or entity legally accountable for the death of your loved one and will do everything in our power to obtain compensation for your loss. We will help you understand your rights under the law in a wrongful death claim.

The 1st attorney I went to before this office stated that there wasn’t enough money in the case for him. That my car wasn’t damaged enough & that I wasn’t hurt enough. My neck has a herniated disc in it for the rest of my life. Which I wouldn’t have known or been treated if I hadn’t gone to this office. They got me treated & paid. My only advice to any future clients would be to call the states department of insurance if the opposing insurance company is lolly gagging. Because a phone call to that office might save you time & the 45% fee for a lawsuit. Overall I still got paid, just wish I would’ve known about the department of insurance before accepting escalation of my case. That being said I would still recommend them to family & friends. Also don’t say a word to the opposing insurance company.
