Wrongful Death can result from any type of accident or malpractice. Once someone dies however, there are many additional considerations. Who will handle the Estate? Who can bring a lawsuit? Who will collect the money?

How someone dies, whether or not they were conscious or unconscious, suffered physical pain, or mental anguish, are important consideration for determining the value of your case. Other considerations include, loss of support for a spouse and child, loss of services to a spouse, loss of parental guidance, and whether or not an immediate family member was in the "zone of danger" when the decedent died.

Often it is difficult to broach the subject of a lawyer just after a loved one has died, but the sooner you contact us the better our chance of preserving and protecting the rights of the surviving family members.

If possible, obtain pictures, police reports, witness information ,death certificates, marriage certificates of spouses , birth certificates of childrens, a list of medical providers and dates the decedent was treated

Do not speak to anyone. Insurance companies and their investigators are especially anxious to speak to you after an accident. They tape your conversations, with or without your permission in an attempt to limit their liability and exposure right from the start before you have a lawyer.

Do not complete any paperwork. Send all correspondence to your lawyers, and refer all callers to them - That's their job.
