Wrongful Death

When someone passes away or is killed due to misconduct or negligence of another person, it is known as a Wrongful Death. Some elements of a Wrongful Death include:

1. The death of a human being
2. Caused by another’s negligence, or with intent to cause harm
3. The survival of family members who are suffering monetary injury as a result of the death
4. Medical malpractice that results in decedent’s death
5. Automobile or airplane accident
6. Occupational exposure to hazardous conditions or substances
7. Death during a supervised activity.

The death of a loved one is never easy, and no amount of money can make up for your loss. However, when the death is caused by the negligent, reckless, or intentional conduct of another, it is even more difficult to accept. Wrongful death attorneys can help you seek justice for your loss.

In the realm of legal complexities surrounding wrongful deaths, it’s essential to be well-informed. The general legal guidelines provide a broader perspective on such matters. For instance, there are times when alternative dispute resolutions might be a more suitable approach than traditional litigation.

Understanding why you need a lawyer in these situations is crucial, as they can guide you through the intricate legal landscape. It’s also beneficial to look into previous case results to gauge the potential outcomes. Additionally, while discussing wrongful deaths, it’s heartbreaking to consider scenarios like a child getting injured at school, emphasizing the importance of legal awareness in various circumstances.

Wrongful death cases are complex, emotionally exhausting and financially draining. AKD Law is here to answer all of your questions, investigate your case, and fight for the justice you deserve. You are entitled to compensation for a variety of emotional and financial losses, such as:

  • Emotional suffering
  • Loss of decedent’s earnings
  • Loss of love, care, and companionship
  • Burial and expenses
  • Children’s loss of guidance and supervision
  • Present and future financial losses
  • Medical expenses

In 2003, after being dissatisfied with the quality of legal care for victims of car accidents, Roderick ‘Rico’ Alvendia sought to establish a new firm focused on providing high-quality legal services to aid injured victims and their families. J. Bart Kelly, sharing Rico’s passion for upholding justice, joined the firm later that year, and established a partnership.
