Wrongful Death
Losing a Loved One
The sudden death of a very close friend or relative is one of the most devastating experiences a person can have. Such a loss is all the more devastating if it was due to the negligence of someone else. While there is nothing anyone can do to bring back your departed loved one, the law firm of McCORVEY LAW, LLC, can help you seek the financial compensation you need to help you meet expenses related to your loss, replace your lost income, and secure the future of those left behind.
Who Can File a Claim
However, not just anyone can bring a cause of action for wrongful death. Generally, only the immediate family of the victim, including spouses, children, and parents, can bring a claim. In many instances, a clear link needs to be established between the victim and his or her survivors during the victim’s lifetime. At the opposite end, the insurance company will be doing its best to minimize the size of any settlement. It is therefore necessary to secure the services of an experienced and knowledgeable attorney to represent your family’s interests. You need an aggressive and tenacious advocate to represent you in these matters.
Establishing Liability
Automobile accidents are believed to be the most common cause of wrongful death. Most accidents could have been prevented. If you lost a loved one because of a another driver’s negligence, another driver’s irresponsibility with alcohol or drugs, or another driver’s recklessness, we will work tirelessly to make sure the insurance company, the Court, and the jury understand the impact of your loss.
