How a Wrongful Death Settlement can Help Families

This should go without saying, but we recognize that nothing will replace your loss. However, we believe that if you’re eligible, you should file a wrongful death claim.

Some of the damages a settlement covers include:

  • Medical expenses
  • Funeral expenses
  • Lost wages – including estimated lifetime earnings

A settlement also accounts for the loss of the relationship and the emotional impact involved. When we meet, we can help determine the potential value of your claim and discuss your legal options.
