Taking the Time to Understand Your Loss
When this law firm represents surviving family members in wrongful death cases, we take the time necessary to gather detailed information about your case, including all financial and nonfinancial aspects of the family's loss. This may involve hiring an economist to estimate projected lifetime earnings of the deceased had he or she lived. It may include spending time with the family at home to get a clear understanding of how the loved one contributed to the family in nonmonetary ways: companionship, love and guidance, for example.
A wrongful death case normally has two actions:
- A claim on behalf of the estate to compensate the deceased for his or her suffering, whether death occurred one minute, one week or one year after a serious accident.
- A claim on behalf of the dependent and close family members to compensate them for their losses including future earnings and companionship.
The loss of a husband and father, a wife and mother or a son or daughter is one of life's cruelest turns. Families who have lost a family member in a car accident or workplace mishap often spend years getting their bearings again. Money from insurance policies can never replace the loved one's presence. It can, however, offer hope and opportunity to children who have lost a parent. A child's continuing education, put at risk due to the death of a parent, may again be possible with the receipt of a settlement.
