The Financial Realities That Grieving Families May Face

The death of a family member can not only be tragic, but it can also lead to a financial crisis affecting an entire family. Funeral and burial expenses can be a difficult burden for a family. If the person who died was a family's primary income earner, the loss of a steady income, employer-provided health insurance, and other benefits can lead to serious financial struggles. A surviving spouse may be unsure about how they will pay ongoing bills and provide care for their children. They may have no idea about how they will survive in the future.

These losses are real, and they are measurable. A wrongful death claim can help ensure that a family will be able to address these losses and avoid ongoing financial problems. Properly documenting the full scope of a family's financial losses will require careful legal work and a thorough understanding of how damages are calculated. Our attorney takes this responsibility seriously, working with financial and medical professionals when necessary to ensure that a family's economic damages will be properly established.

Our lawyer will also help ensure that a family will be compensated for the personal losses and emotional trauma they have suffered. Compensation in a wrongful death claim can account for the sorrow, mental anguish, and other emotional issues family members have experienced. Issues such as the loss of companionship, comfort, guidance, and protection that a person would have provided to family members may be considered. By addressing the real human suffering that has occurred because of a wrongful death, we will work to ensure that a family will be able to move forward as they recover from their loss.

Relentless in pursuit. Committed to the fight.

Types of Cases Involving Wrongful Death Claims

At Whitlock Law, we can help clients address a wide range of circumstances in which a person has died because of another party's negligence or misconduct. We can address situations such as:

Fatal Car and Truck Accidents

When a driver's negligence has led to a fatal crash, we can help family members address the losses they have experienced. Fatal car accidents may occur because of negligent behaviors like distracted driving, driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or speeding. Fatal commercial truck accidents may involve multiple liable parties, including a trucking company, cargo loading company, or vehicle manufacturer.

Motorcycle, Bicycle, and Pedestrian Accidents

Motorcyclists, bike riders, and pedestrians are more likely to be killed when they are involved in accidents. In many cases, these accidents occur because drivers fail to watch for smaller vehicles or do not act safely. Fatal motorcycle accidents may occur because drivers do not notice motorcycles. Fatal bicycle accidents may be caused by drivers who lose control and collide with bicyclists who are on the road. Fatal pedestrian accidents can occur because of traffic violations like running red lights or speeding through intersections.

Premises Liability

A property owner may be responsible if a fatal accident occurs because they did not address hazards on their property. At public locations like stores or shopping malls, people may suffer fatal injuries because of damaged staircases, malfunctioning elevators or escalators, or damaged railings on upper levels. Premises liability claims may also address wrongful deaths at private residences due to issues like hazardous swimming pools or collapsing balconies.

Our considerable experience and focus on personal injury law can give you a significant advantage, because we will use our knowledge and skills to protect your best interests. If insurers do not offer full compensation through settlement negotiations, Attorney Whitlock is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom.
