Wrongful Death

A skilled wrongful death lawyer in Alabama, North Carolina and Washington, D.C. to represent your case

When you've lost a loved one because of another person's carelessness, you have the right to get compensated for your loss-including funeral expenses, medical bills, lost wages, and other losses your family has endured.

Although no amount of money can compensate a family for the loss of a loved one, the law recognizes the loss to the family members and provides a means to protect the spouse, children and parents of the deceased.

Wrongful death cases arise from someone else's negligence. It is a civil action rather than a criminal action. Examples of wrongful death include:

• A pedestrian killed in a drunk driving Car accident
• Construction site injuries
• Nursing home abuse
• Medical malpractice

Depending on which state you file a wrongful death suit in, you may have up to three years beyond the death of your loved one to file a case. There are some exceptions, however.
