The sudden and unexpected loss of a loved one is an experience no family should ever have to endure — and when that loss is the result of another party’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongdoing, the grief is compounded by a profound and justified sense of injustice. While nothing can restore what has been taken from your family, a wrongful death claim can provide surviving family members with the financial compensation they need to secure their future and ensure that the responsible party is held fully accountable for the devastating harm they have caused. At Julie Eckstein Law, our compassionate wrongful death attorney is dedicated to standing alongside grieving families and fighting tirelessly for the justice their loved ones deserve.
Common Causes of Wrongful Death Claims
Our wrongful death practice represents surviving families in claims arising from a wide range of fatal accidents and incidents caused by negligence, including:
- Fatal automobile, truck, and motorcycle accidents
- Medical malpractice and surgical errors resulting in death
- Workplace accidents and construction site fatalities
- Defective and dangerous product-related deaths
- Premises liability incidents including falls and drownings
- Nursing home neglect and abuse resulting in death
- Criminal acts including assault and homicide
- Pedestrian and bicycle accident fatalities
- Boating and watercraft accidents
- Aviation accidents
Our attorney will conduct a thorough and sensitive investigation into the circumstances of your loved one’s passing, identify all responsible parties, and build the strongest possible wrongful death claim on your family’s behalf.
Who May File a Wrongful Death Claim?
Wrongful death laws vary by state, but surviving spouses, children, and parents of the deceased are typically entitled to file a wrongful death claim. In some states, other dependent family members may also have legal standing. Our attorney will carefully evaluate your family’s specific circumstances and advise you fully on your legal rights and available options.
Compensation Available to Surviving Families
Families who have lost a loved one due to another’s negligence may be entitled to compensation for funeral and burial costs, the deceased’s medical expenses prior to death, lost income and financial support the deceased would have provided, loss of companionship, guidance and emotional support, and the pain and suffering experienced by the deceased before passing.
