Attorney for Families Affected by the Wrongful Death of Loved Ones in Severna Park, MD

Personal Injury Car Accidents Truck Accidents Motorcycle Accidents

The sudden loss of a loved one can not only be a tragic situation, but it can also lead to serious concerns that may affect a family's financial health and the overall well-being of different family members. When a person has been killed because someone else was negligent and failed to protect their safety, their surviving family members may be left with unanswered questions, and they may be concerned about how they will meet their needs in the future.

After a person's wrongful death, the attorney at Whitlock Law can help a family determine their legal options and the steps they can take to hold a negligent person or company responsible for their tragic loss. While a wrongful death claim cannot bring back a lost loved one, it can address the ways a family has been affected and ensure that they will have the financial resources they need, and provide a sense of justice.

How a Wrongful Death Can Affect a Family

The unexpected death of a family member can have a huge emotional impact on those who have been left behind. Spouses, children, parents, and other close relatives may struggle with grief, depression, and anger toward the person or parties who were responsible. The loss of someone they depended on for companionship, guidance, and support can have an ongoing impact on their mental health for years to come.

In addition to emotional suffering, a family may encounter financial difficulties after a wrongful death. The medical bills for treatment a person received before their death may be significant, and expenses related to a person's funeral and burial or cremation can add additional financial strain. At the same time, the loss of the income that the deceased person earned and used to provide for a family's needs can leave survivors wondering how they will cover their ongoing expenses.

How a Wrongful Death Claim Can Help a Family Move Forward

While a wrongful death claim cannot erase the grief caused by the loss of a loved one, it can help a family maintain financial stability while also addressing emotional trauma and other ways family members may be affected. A family may receive compensation for all financial losses related to a person's wrongful death, including the loss of income and benefits, the loss of an inheritance, the loss of services the deceased person would have provided for the family, and expenses related to medical care and funeral arrangements.

A family may also be compensated for their personal losses. Loss of companionship is a key issue that may be addressed in a wrongful death claim. A spouse may be compensated for the loss of a relationship with their partner, and children may be compensated for the loss of parental guidance and emotional support that they should have received. A family's grief, sorrow, and other forms of emotional trauma should be covered in a wrongful death claim.

Types of Wrongful Death Cases

There are many different types of accidents or other situations in which people may be wrongfully killed. At Whitlock Law, we can provide representation for families in cases involving:

Car Accidents: Fatal crashes may be caused by speeding, distracted driving, drunk driving, reckless driving, or failure to obey traffic laws.
Truck Accidents: Collisions involving commercial vehicles will often result in severe or fatal injuries, and they may be caused by fatigued truck drivers, overloaded trucks, mechanical failures, or other forms of negligence.
Motorcycle Accidents: Fatal crashes can occur when drivers do not notice motorcycles or do not take the right steps to protect the safety of motorcycle riders.
Pedestrian Accidents: Negligent drivers may strike pedestrians in intersections, parking lots, school zones, or other locations and inflict fatal injuries.
Bicycle Accidents: Distracted driving, unsafe passing, or other forms of negligence may cause drivers to strike bicyclists, which can result in a person's death.
Premises Liability Accidents: Fatal falls and other incidents involving unsafe property conditions may lead to wrongful deaths, and property owners may be held liable for their failure to protect the safety of visitors.
Dog Attacks: Fatal injuries can occur due to dog bites in some situations, such as when a bite to the neck leads to severe blood loss.

Our team will calculate the damages that a family has suffered, including both financial losses and non-economic damages.
