Legal Help With Multiple Types of Wrongful Death Cases
If your loved one has been killed because of someone else's actions or negligence, a wrongful death lawsuit can help you recover damages that address issues such as medical and funeral expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. It can also hold the responsible party accountable for their actions and help to prevent future accidents from happening. Our attorneys can help you determine how to proceed in wrongful death cases involving:
- Car, truck, and motorcycle accidents - If your loved one was killed in an auto accident, we can help you take action to hold a negligent driver or any other liable parties responsible.
- Pedestrian accidents - A collision in which a person on foot is struck by a vehicle is likely to result in fatal injuries. We can work to ensure that an at-fault driver will be held accountable in these situations, and we can also identify other parties who may be liable, such as a city that failed to ensure that an intersection was safe for pedestrians.
- Bicycle accidents - A wrongful death lawsuit may be appropriate if your loved one was killed while riding a bicycle due to the negligence of another party, such as a driver who failed to share the road safely with a bicyclist.
- Ski and snowboard accidents - Skiing and snowboarding are popular winter activities, but they can also be dangerous. If your loved one was killed in a ski or snowboard accident, we can help you take legal action against any negligent parties, such as a ski resort that failed to maintain its slopes or provide adequate safety equipment.
- Recreational vehicle accidents - Wrongful death claims may be filed in cases involving all types of recreational vehicles, including ATVs, boats, and jet skis. Liable parties may include owners who failed to keep vehicles maintained, manufacturers of defective equipment, or negligent ATV or boat operators.
- Bus and train accidents - Collisions involving buses and trains can be devastating. If your loved one was killed in this type of accident, we can help you take action against a bus or train company that failed to maintain equipment properly or did not follow the correct safety procedures.
- Plane crashes and aviation accidents - Pilot error, mechanical failures, weather conditions, and other factors can lead to plane or helicopter crashes. We can help you investigate the cause of an aviation accident and take action against any negligent parties.
- Medical malpractice - If your loved one died due to the negligence of a healthcare provider, you may be able to file a lawsuit against a doctor, hospital, or medical facility.
- Nursing home neglect and abuse - Unfortunately, residents of nursing homes or assisted living facilities are often subject to mistreatment, including physical abuse, sexual abuse, lack of supervision, or failure to provide the proper medical care. We can help you take legal action to address a wrongful death that occurred because of negligence by a nursing home.
- Defective products - There are multiple types of products that can cause fatal injuries due to design defects, manufacturing defects, or lack of warnings. We can assist with wrongful death cases involving dangerous products, including opioids and other prescription drugs.
- Drug overdoses - If your loved one died after using drugs, we can help you take action against the negligent parties, such as the manufacturer of a defective medication or the doctor who prescribed an unsafe dosage.
- Premises liability - Property owners may be held liable for deaths that occurred because they did not take the proper steps to protect the safety of visitors. We can assist with wrongful death cases involving slip and fall accidents, dog bites and other animal attacks, and swimming pool accidents.
- Murder/homicide - If your loved one was intentionally killed by another person, or if a wrongful death occurred because of criminal negligence, we can help you take legal action against the offender.
- Workplace accidents - If your loved one was killed while on the job, you may be able to file a wrongful death lawsuit against their employer or any other negligent parties, such as manufacturers of defective tools or equipment.
In addition to providing representation in wrongful death lawsuits, our attorneys can also assist with life insurance and accidental death insurance claims. We will work to ensure that beneficiaries of these policies will be able to receive the benefits they are entitled to.
