What is wrongful death?
A wrongful death occurs when a life is brought to a premature end due to the negligent, reckless, or illegal actions of another. The family and loved ones left behind by the deceased must bear the emotional, financial, and sometimes physical burden associated with the loss.

Do I have a wrongful death claim?
If you have suffered the loss of a loved family due to the intentional or unintentional behavior of another, you may be entitled to compensation. Medical bills, funeral expenses, pain and suffering, loss of society and comfort, and emotional trauma, are not damages that you should have to deal with.

When should I file my claim?
If you believe that you have a wrongful death claim, you should not hesitate to contact an attorney immediately. Every state permits you a certain amount of time in which to file your claim. This timeframe, referred to as the Statute of Limitations, varies from state to state. The Statute of limitations can range from about 1 to 3 years. If you fail to file your claim within the appropriate timeframe, you may be unable to file your claim in the future.
