Losing a loved one is devastating no matter the circumstances. When the death of a parent, child or spouse is caused by someone else’s avoidable negligence or misconduct, families suffer both emotionally and financially.
At Steve Foley Law Firm, we help these families hold negligent actors accountable. We know that no court order and no sum of money can turn back time and erase the painful loss of a loved one. With a wrongful death claim, families can recover fair financial compensation so they can prioritize their healing and their loved ones.
Wrongful death claims can arise from a wide variety of circumstances, including:
Bringing a claim for wrongful death can compensate survivors for financial losses. For example, if the breadwinner of a family was killed because of negligence, their survivors may be entitled to damages, including:
The amount of these damages depends on many factors, including the decedent’s age, health, income, earning capacity and net worth at the time of death. When pursuing compensation for a wrongful death, it is important to work with a personal injury attorney who not only has experience preparing cases for trial, but will also take the time to fully understand your loved one’s contributions and legacy.
At Steve Foley Law Firm, we draw on decades of trial experience to advocate for our clients’ best interests while allowing them to focus on what really matters.
