Losing a loved one is devastating. When it happens due to someone else’s negligence, the pain intensifies. During these tough times, wrongful death lawyers become essential. They provide the legal expertise needed to navigate complex laws. At Robert DeBry & Associates, we understand your pain and are here to help.
Understanding Wrongful Death Claims
A wrongful death claim arises when someone’s negligence or intentional act causes death. These claims are complex and require a deep understanding of the law. Wrongful death lawyers specialize in these cases. They ensure that the rights of the deceased’s family are protected.
Key Statistics
According to the CDC, unintentional injuries are the third leading cause of death in the United States. In 2020 alone, there were over 200,000 unintentional injury deaths. This highlights the need for expert legal help.
The Role of Wrongful Death Lawyers
Wrongful death lawyers play several critical roles in these cases. They investigate the incident, gather evidence, and build a strong case. Their expertise ensures that all legal procedures are followed correctly.
Investigating the Case
Lawyers start by investigating the circumstances surrounding the death. They collect evidence, interview witnesses, and consult experts. This thorough investigation is crucial to building a strong case.
Negotiating Settlements
Many wrongful death cases are settled out of court. Wrongful death lawyers negotiate with insurance companies and the defendant’s lawyers. Their goal is to secure a fair settlement for the family. Statistics show that families represented by lawyers receive significantly higher settlements.
Representing You in Court
If a settlement cannot be reached, the case goes to court. Wrongful death lawyers represent the family in court, presenting the evidence and making legal arguments. Their courtroom experience is invaluable in these situations.
Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases
Compensation in wrongful death cases can cover various damages. These include medical expenses, funeral costs, lost wages, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death lawyers ensure that families receive the compensation they deserve.
Medical Expenses and Funeral Costs
Families can claim compensation for medical expenses incurred before death. Funeral costs are also covered. According to the National Funeral Directors Association, the average funeral costs over $7,000. This can be a significant burden for grieving families.
Lost Wages and Future Earnings
The loss of a family member often means the loss of financial support. Families can claim compensation for lost wages and future earnings. This is particularly important for families who depended on the deceased’s income.
Pain and Suffering
The emotional pain and suffering caused by a loved one’s death are immeasurable. Wrongful death lawyers help families claim compensation for this suffering. They understand the emotional toll these cases take.
