There is no worse time in life than the death of your spouse, child or parent.

The horror of the loss of your loved one is compounded when caused by the negligence or other wrongful act of a person, company or government entity. We will seek the justice you deserve!

We are highly experienced in holding the responsible party or parties liable for all of the damages caused by their wrongful conduct. At the same time, we are extremely sensitive to your loss and will accord you the dignity and breathing room you need to grieve.

Certain heirs of the deceased are entitled to bring a claim against the responsible party(s) for their monetary damages. Wrongful death damages are discussed in the side-bar captioned, “What Damages are collectable in a Wrongful Death Case?” In short, damages include such things as the future lifetime loss of financial support, the reasonable value of household services that your loved one would have provided, the loss of gifts or benefits that you would have expected to receive, funeral and burial expenses, and a monetary value for the loss of love, companionship, comfort, care, assistance, protection, affection, society, moral support, training and guidance you would have otherwise received from your loved one.

For over 30 years we have helped people just like you obtain substantial compensation for their wrongful death claims. We are able to resolve many claims informally, through direct contact with the other side or their insurance company. For those claims that proceed to a lawsuit, we will take you through each stage of litigation including trial. In fact, we investigate and handle every case as if it were going to trial. That way, not only are we prepared to present your case to a jury, but the other side realizes how prepared we are and substantial pre-trial settlements often result.

We take each case personally and treat our clients as if we were representing a family member. We form a strong partnership with you and communicate with you throughout all stages of your case. After all, it is your case and you have every right to ask questions, make decisions and understand the process.

We pride ourselves in developing alternative theories of recovery in wrongful death actions when the wrongdoer is insolvent or uninsured. We pursue underinsured and uninsured motorist claims; hold employers liable for the acts of their employees; demonstrate civil conspiracies among groups; and “pierce the corporate veil” to hold officers, directors and shareholders personally liable for the wrongful acts of their company’s personnel. We also look to hold the state, county or city liable for wrongful death caused by government employees and/or dangerous conditions of public property.

We have recovered millions of dollars in wrongful death damages for our clients caused by:

• Collisions involving automobiles, motorcycles, bicycles, big rig trucks, boats, water craft, aircraft, and pedestrians.
• Defective products.
• Defective and dangerous private and public premises, including homes, warehouses and streets.
• Dangerous animals including dog bites.
