Wrongful Death

Unexpectedly losing a loved one is always difficult, but when the loss is caused by the negligent act or careless behavior of some else…it can be devastating. The legal term used in these types of claims is “wrongful death”.Your loved one may have been killed in a serious car, big truck or motorcycle accident or by some other means.  Regardless of the type of accident, if your loved one’s death was caused by the negligence of someone else, their death may have been wrongful.
