Determining Comparative Negligence in a Wrongful Death

In some cases, it can be found that the decedent partially contributed to his or her death. Comparative negligence can be found through actions the decedent took as the accident occurred, as well as after the accident. Our attorneys  are highly experienced in this area of law and are able to effectively analyze the level of negligence, if any.

Sadly, the wrongful death of a loved one can occur throughout all our practice areas including motor vehicle accidents, drunk driving accidents, trucking accidents, and motorcycle accidents. We address the psychological impact of fatalities by referring clients to the appropriate grief counselors. The psychological impact of the death will be considered in the settlement demand, along with other economic and non-economic damages. We strive to seek compensation for:

• Medical expenses
• Funeral expenses
• Loss of future earnings and benefits
• Loss of companionship
• Punitive damages
