Experience Attorneys Helping Your Family Seek Justice after a Wrongful Death
If you have lost a loved one due to another person’s negligent actions, you may be entitled to compensation. A wrongful death claim allows you to hold the negligent party accountable and seek compensation that will help with the loss. While money is never sufficient to make up for the death of someone you loved, it may provide you with the chance to get some closure and help you to move forward.
At Berens & Miller, P.A., our lawyers understand how difficult this is for you and take the time to carefully review your case and pursue a claim.
Understanding Wrongful Death Claims
A wrongful death claim is possible if the deceased individual died due to someone else’s negligent or reckless behaviors and actions. Car accidents can be a common cause of wrongful death, if the negligent party was drunk, distracted, or engaging in reckless behaviors such as speeding.
Actions or conditions that cause someone’s death must be taken seriously. We will help investigate the cause of the death and determine proper liability. Surviving spouses, children, and parents are often eligible to file a wrongful death claim and pursue compensation that may cover:
- Any medical bills
- Funeral and burial costs
- Loss of income
- Loss of household services
- Loss of companionship
- Loss of parental services
- Loss of any inheritance for the deceased children
- Pain and suffering that the deceased may have experienced prior to death
- Emotional distress of the surviving family members
You and your family may be entitled to compensation after such a devastating loss. We are here to guide you along the way toward achieving fair compensation so you can focus on grieving.
How Do You Prove a Wrongful Death?
Proving wrongful death is often complicated. You will need to demonstrate that the other party acted negligently or recklessly and their actions caused your loved one’s death. You will also need to demonstrate that the death of your loved one has impacted your family through financial and other damages, such as the loss of income and the loss of companionship and guidance.
Navigating wrongful death claims without representation can be challenging, which is why you should consult a law firm you are comfortable with. We have years of knowledge from handling these sensitive cases. We understand you are going through a difficult time and want to provide you with the chance to seek compensation for your loss and suffering. We will work with you to uncover the cause of the accident and resulting death, collect evidence such as police and medical reports and witness statements, and prepare a strong case for either settlement and/or litigation.
