ith the loss of a loved one comes paralyzing grief and pain. When that death is unexpected and unnecessary, it is even more shocking and painful. The last thing that you want to think about is going to court in your time of loss. Yet, the bills keep coming, and life moves forward with or without your participation. If you wait to take action you can lose crucial ground in your case or even lose the right to compensation completely, causing even more hardship and suffering for you and your family in the long run.

Wrongful death attorneys

Wrongful death is a very broad area of personal injury law because a wrongful death case can stem from virtually any type of injury such as an auto accident, medical malpractice, or nursing home abuse. Therefore, to successfully pursue your case, your attorney must have experience with wrongful death cases and with the type of accident or injury that was the cause of death. At Stipe Injury Law, our wrongful death attorneys have the dual experience to aggressively pursue your case, and the compassion to work with you as gently as possible during your time of mourning.

No amount of money can ever make up for the pain and loss that you experience when a loved one dies due to someone else’s negligence or wrongdoing. While this is the greatest value to you, other aspects of your loss can impact you and your family indefinitely. You may be entitled to compensation that will lessen the long-term burden and hardship including compensation for:

Funeral expenses
Medical bills
Loss of services the deceased provided, such as childcare, housekeeping, and more
Loss of the deceased’s anticipated future earnings
Loss of benefits if the deceased provided such as medical, pension, dental, or other benefits
Loss of companionship
Emotional pain and suffering

Children of the deceased may also be compensated for the things that a parent would have provided including:

Parental care
Guidance
Protection
Education
Financial support
Benefits such as medical insurance

Understanding wrongful death

Wrongful death lawsuits are civil lawsuits, not criminal trials. They are very different from murder cases and the standards of proof are much lower, meaning your chance of winning is greater. The purpose of a wrongful death case is to compensate you for your loss. It is not designed to punish the responsible party. However, it is often the only way that the defendant will ever be held accountable for the death they have caused.

We understand that the very thought of a lawsuit when you are grieving the loss of a loved one is an overwhelming and painful prospect, and we are here to make that process as easy as possible for you. Failing to act quickly can mean losing the chance to act at all.
