WRONGFUL DEATH CASE
When someone dies because of the acts or negligence of another; it is one of the saddest events that a family can endure. Naturally, contacting a lawyer does not enter peoples’ minds. The time immediately after such a tragedy may be the most important time to insure the strength of a death case. For example, witnesses’ recollections will be fresh, pictures taken of the scene will be particularly powerful, and vehicle photographs and injury photographs will provide important information.
The laws governing the time in which a family can bring a wrongful death case vary from state to state. These laws are called statutes of limitation.

If a case is not brought within that time period it can never be brought. You need an experienced trial attorney to help your family navigate the laws regarding death cases in your state. You need an experienced trial attorney to negotiate with the insurance company; and, if negotiation fails, a trial attorney who can communicate the magnitude of your loss to a jury. I have tried wrongful death cases to juries in Arizona, Iowa, and in Minnesota and I have resolved many more wrongful death cases through settlement.
If you, a friend, or family member needs an experienced trial lawyer for a wrongful death or serious injury case, please contact me. I would love to help. |
