Wrongful Death

The loss of a loved one is devastating. Such a loss is even more difficult when the loss is the result of the negligence of another. When a person is killed due to the negligence or misconduct of a company, entity, or individual, it may be necessary to file a “wrongful death” claim.

Huntington Wrongful Death Attorneys

In addition to the overwhelming grief and emotional turmoil suffered after the loss of your loved one, you may also be facing serious financial difficulties if you depended on your deceased family member for support. Filing a wrongful death claim can be complicated and requires the help of a qualified attorney with the necessary experience and ethics to guide you through the legal process and help recover lost earnings, reimbursement for medical and funeral expenses, and compensation for pain and suffering that occurs as a result of your loss.

• Death due to dangerous or defective drugs
  
• Premises liability

We will diligently investigate every possible contributing cause of the accident to ensure that the wrongdoers are held accountable. Our wrongful death attorneys will take over the investigation of your case in order to bring you peace of mind during the difficult grieving process.

Who can file a wrongful death claim?

Wrongful death claims must be filed by the “real parties of interest” meaning those who suffer damage from the person’s death. This can be a surviving spouse, children, grandchildren, next of kin or others who are financially dependent upon the deceased. It is critical to consult an experienced wrongful death attorney to determine your right to file a claim and the real value of that claim. With the wrongful death lawyers at Woelfel & Woelfel LLP, you can be sure of thorough counsel that understands the law. Please contact us for a free case evaluation.
