No amount of money can compensate a family for the grief and loss of a loved one. An attorney is probably not normally the first person you contact. Even so, a wrongful death lawsuit is the only legal remedy available to find answers, to give you and your family financial and emotional peace of mind and closure. Finally, a wrongful death lawsuit is the only way to make the responsible party accountable for your loss. At Hardy Law Group, we can take care of the legal issues so you can take care of yourself and your family.
Wrongful death can arise out of a variety of circumstances. It could be medical negligence, nursing home care, motor vehicle accident, bicycle accident or product defect. An action for wrongful death claims that the decedent was killed as a result of the negligence or wrongful act of another, and that the decedent's immediate family members are entitled to monetary damages as a result of the defendant's conduct.
The most common people to bring these claims are surviving spouses and children, and sometimes parents. Separate claims are assigned to the estate itself, including collecting for medical bills, burial costs and punitive damages. Any damages awarded belong to the estate and pass as directed by the decedent's will or by state law if distribution is not specified in the will.
If a loved one has died after an accident or injury caused by the negligence or misconduct of another individual, company or entity, you should retain a lawyer right away. There are time limitations in filing your wrongful death lawsuit, as well as other legal implications. Use the form on this page to find a qualified wrongful death attorney to suit your needs and legal situation.
One of the biggest hurdles in proving a wrongful death claim is moving quickly enough to obtain and preserve the necessary evidence. Regardless of whether you know if you have a case, call us today to ensure your rights.
