How Can a Wrongful Death Lawyer Help?
A wrongful death lawyer from Morgan and Morgan can handle your case from the beginning to the end while you grieve your loved one. Among others, they can:
- Gather evidence
- Identify whoever was responsible
- Assess the value of your claim
- File a claim with the liable party (usually their insurance carries)
- Negotiating with insurance companies for a favorable settlement
- Represent you in court if necessary.
You May Be Entitled to Damages
One of the primary ways a wrongful death lawyer can help is by seeking compensation for your losses. In personal injury lingo, we call these losses “damages.”
They may include:
- Medical expenses
- Funeral and burial costs
- Lost income
- Lost support and companionship
- Loss of future earnings
- Pain and suffering
And many more.
Who Files a Wrongful Death Claim?
Such a claim is usually filed by the personal representative of the deceased person's estate. This is often a close family member, such as a spouse, parent, or child. The personal representative acts on behalf of the surviving family members and is responsible for pursuing the claim and distributing any damages awarded.
