WRONGFUL DEATH CASE LAWYER

One of the most traumatic events that a family can experience is when a family member dies because of the negligence of another.  The next of kin is often hesitant to contact a lawyer; however, the time immediately after such a tragedy can be crucial in order to insure that those responsible are held accountable.  Some examples are that photographs of the scene must be taken, eyewitnesses must be contacted, and other pieces of evidence must be gathered during this important time.

Furthermore, every state has wrongful death statutes of limitation.  These laws govern the time in which the next of kin must bring a case against the person responsible.  If a case is not brought within that time, it can never be brought.



Besides bringing the case within the proper time set by law, an experienced trial lawyer can help evaluate the damages, (the amount of compensation that the heirs can receive), according to the laws of the state in which the death occurred.  All state laws provide that the victim’s family can recover economic damages such as funeral expenses, medical bills, and lost income; but, some states allow additional damages for loss of aid, advice, and comfort.

A family who has suffered such a loss needs an experienced trial attorney to navigate the laws regarding death cases, to negotiate with the insurance company; and, if negotiation fails, to communicate the magnitude of the loss to a jury.  I have tried wrongful death cases to juries in Arizona, Iowa, and in Minnesota, and I have resolved many more wrongful death cases through settlement.

If you, a friend, or family member needs an experienced trial lawyer for a wrongful death or serious injury case, please contact me.  I would love to help.
