When we lose a loved one due to the negligence of another, surviving family members oftentimes have mixed emotions about seeking monetary relief.  There is no amount of money that can bring a lost relative back to life.  However, a monetary award is the only way the law recognizes the value of life, compensates for the loss, and penalizes the party at fault.

The right to compensation for the families of persons killed by another’s negligence is provided by the legislatures in all 50 states.  Every state has a Wrongful Death statute that provides rights and remedies for the survivors of the deceased.  A monetary recovery assures the ability of a wife, husband, children and other family members to reestablish their sense of financial security and focus on coping with the resultant grief and inevitable change going on in their lives.  If this is the situation you and your family have found yourselves in, please give us a call and let’s talk about what options you may have.
