When a loved one’s death may have been preventable, the grief a family experiences is especially difficult and overwhelming. It can be challenging to know how to move forward. Seasoned wrongful death attorney Lori Murray will walk you step-by-step through the legal process to help you obtain your rightful settlement.

Compensation in Wrongful Death Claims

A wrongful death claim is a civil lawsuit you have a right to file against a party who is at-fault for a family member’s death. Compensation in wrongful death claims typically includes lost wages, benefits, and financial support the deceased family member would have earned.

The settlement may also cover medical expenses related to the family member’s condition or injuries prior to death, as well as funeral and burial expenses and compensation for pain, suffering, and loss of companionship. In some settlements, the family may also receive punitive damages. Lori Murray will help you understand the specific settlement for which your family may qualify and fight to help you receive the compensation you deserve.

Common Causes of Wrongful Death

How can you know if your loved one’s death falls under the wrongful death umbrella? Speaking with a qualified attorney is your best way to know for sure. Because each case is different, an attorney will need to assess the details of your case to determine your family’s qualifications for wrongful death compensation. Some of the most common causes of a wrongful death lawsuit and settlement include:

  • Automobile accidents
  • Commercial truck accidents
  • Medical malpractice
  • Product liability
  • Workplace accidents
  • Animal attacks

Wrongful Death FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Seeking professional medical assistance immediately after an accident is the most important first step. If possible, take photos of the accident scene and speak to any witnesses, making sure to gather their contact information. It’s also crucial to contact a trusted personal injury attorney right away, so they can begin working for you to build a strong case.

If you have injuries resulting from an accident due to someone else’s recklessness or negligence, you may be entitled to a settlement.
