WRONGFUL DEATH
 |
A wrongful death is a death caused by another's negligence, recklessness, malpractice, or inaction. The guilty party could be another individual or a corporation. A wrongful death can happen anywhere, on the road, work place or other public areas. A wrongful death can happen instantly at the point of accident or can happen after a long-term illness or disability.
If the death of a relative or spouse was caused by the wrongful act of another, surviving family members can file a wrongful death lawsuit against the negligent party or parties. In such cases, the surviving dependents or beneficiaries of the deceased person may be entitled to monetary damages because of the other person's misconduct. In order to file a wrongful death claim, you must be able to prove that you will experience severe future emotional and financial hardship because of the loss of the negligent death.
If you believe you have a valid claim for the wrongful death of a family member, please call us at 888-658-8600. Our attorneys at Mayer B. Gordon & Associates can advise you regarding the requirements for your particular wrongful death claims.
In some cases, a wrongful death can occur due to recklessness on others' part, who has previously been warned for his or her misconduct. In such cases, receiving monetary compensation would simply be not enough.
The lawsuits regarding wrongful death, which do not bear any criminal charges, help families recover damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, loss of companionship, mental anguish, medical costs, and other expenses. If you have lost a loved one to wrongful death, you may be eligible for damages.
If you, your friends or other family members have a potential wrongful death case, contact our attorneys at Mayer Gordon & Associates. You are urged to contact our law firm immediately. There are reasons why an attorney should be consulted immediately if one suspects that the death of a loved one was due to misconduct or negligence. For instance, critical evidence can be destroyed in the days and weeks following a fatal accident and it may eliminate the possibility of recovery when certain legal criteria are not satisfied. Therefore, surviving family members are advised to consult with our attorneys at Mayer B. Gordon & Associates immediately.
