Wrongful Death Legal Services

Get Support After Losing a Loved One

In many personal injury cases, the victim is still alive. However, in the case of wrongful death, the victim has sadly not survived. This makes the need for compensation all the more pressing. The team at Murray & Murray LLC has helped with many wrongful death cases, and we know we can help you.

Wrongful deaths occur when someone dies due to another person's negligence. When someone you love dies in an accident that could have been prevented, the sense of loss is pronounced. Compensation can't bring your loved one back, but it can give you the means to keep going. It can cover:

• Funeral fees
• Medical bills
• Other financial burdens

To get this compensation, we will help bring the person with liability to accountability. In some cases, we can negotiate a settlement on your behalf to make sure you get the damages you are owed. We'll draft documents with evidence of the accident's cause, and we'll provide evidence of your medical bills. To come to a settlement, we can work directly with the defendant and their legal team.

Wrongful death is ultimately a broad category, and it can cover many types of accidents. This can include car accidents, dog bites, slips and falls, product liability, medical malpractice, and more. You are eligible to file a wrongful death claim if the person who died is your spouse, parent, or child. If there are no such relatives alive, then brothers, sisters, and grandparents can file the claim.

Unfortunately, extended family cannot make a wrongful death claim. The law also prohibits partners or other close individuals from filing a claim. These cases must be brought by close family members only.

There's a lot to deal with when it comes to a wrongful death claim. As you process your grief, let us handle the legal matters at Murray & Murray LLC. Call now for a free consultation.

Understanding Your Compensation

Obviously, a wrongful death case can never give you what you really want. There's no way to bring back someone you've lost. However, compensation can be an important part of your ability to heal and move on. At Murray & Murray LLC, we are committed to getting the money you deserve and need.

• Funeral and burial expenses
• Medical bills
• Loss of valuable services
• Loss of consortium
• Loss of mentorship or guardianship
• Loss of benefits
• Pain and suffering

Even if your loved one was partially at fault, you may still be eligible for compensation. In most cases, you can get paid for the percentage of the injury they were not at fault for. The process may seem complicated, but Murray & Murray LLC is here to make it easier.

It could take some time to recover a settlement after a wrongful death. This can vary based on the case. We have to gather enough evidence to prove fault, and we need time to craft an argument for why the victim is not at fault. Then, the other party and their insurance company can review the claim and evidence. They may choose to launch their own investigation.

This can result in weeks or even months of negotiation. If we can't reach a settlement, we can take the matter to court or file a lawsuit. Then, it's up to the judge and jury to decide the outcome.
