Wrongful Death

Do you need a wrongful death lawyer?

Suffering the loss of a loved one who dies unnecessarily due to the carelessness of another is life’s most devastating experience. We understand the delicate balancing act that is necessary to compassionately represent grieving families while aggressively representing their interests. The wrongful death lawyers at D'Amore & Associates understand a family's need to obtain justice.

Insurance companies often quickly try to settle wrongful death claims. Initial settlement offers tend to have little relation to the needs of the surviving family. Moreover, they are an effort to minimize the insurance company’s financial exposure. D'Amore & Associates highly recommends that you do not sign anything before talking to an experienced wrongful death attorney.

If a close family member is killed as a result of a negligent accident or act, then his or her loved ones have rights under wrongful death laws to hold the negligent party responsible and recover damages. Wrongful death can occur as a result of a variety of circumstances, including auto, truck or motorcycle accidents, head injuries, nursing home negligence, medical malpractice, or on the job site/construction site accidents. Wrongful death victims and their families are usually merely going about the ordinary business of their lives when tragedy strikes. One young woman was killed while riding in the passenger seat. The cause? A negligent driver. A patient receiving dialysis lost her life due to the negligent act of a health care worker. A construction worker was crushed to death while working on a job site.

The loss of a family member often has lasting financial, monetary and emotional consequences. While no amount of money will make up for the loss of a family member, compensation can often be fairly negotiated by experienced and compassionate attorneys. If trial is necessary, you should hire an attorney that is experienced. The wrngful death attorneys at D’Amore & Associates strive to minimize the emotional impact of a wrongful death trial and only go to trial when it is in the interest of the family.
