Offering Compassionate Counsel That Puts Your Priorities First
If you have lost a loved one due to a fatal auto accident, a defective product, a property owner's negligence, elder abuse or another circumstance caused by someone else's failure to follow basic standards of care and safety, you may be entitled to bring a wrongful death claim.
There are multiple reasons why grieving families might decide to pursue wrongful death claims. Among the most common reasons are:
- Justice and accountability: Although a wrongful death claim can never replace the person you have lost, it is the best opportunity the legal system offers for holding the responsible party accountable and sending a message that may help keep others safe.
- Financial need: If you have lost a parent or spouse who you relied upon for financial support, you are in a position where you deserve compensation that allows you to meet your basic day-to-day expenses while you are going through this difficult period.
Whatever your reasons for considering a wrongful death action, we can counsel you on your options and offer you compassionate guidance throughout the process.
Pursuing All Avenues of Compensation and Accountability
It is also possible to bring a personal injury claim on behalf of a person who has died after suffering a serious injury. In this case, the claim is for the pain, suffering and other harm that person experienced before his or her death.
Attorney Jeffrey Silvia and our team are experienced at bringing these claims in conjunction with or separately from wrongful death claims. This may require opening an estate in probate. We are familiar with this procedure. Don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your options.
