Lawyers Available for Any Wrongful Death Case

Losing a loved one in a sudden accident is devastating. Trying to handle the details of the remaining medical bills, probate matters and police reports is challenging enough. Handling the legal details of a lawsuit for wrongful death litigation becomes nearly impossible.

One of the most challenging aspects of a wrongful death lawsuit is determining who should be held liable for damages. For example, if a person dies in a DUI accident, it is simple enough to place liability on the drunk driver behind the wheel of the other car. But there may be other liable parties, as well. Who served the driver alcohol if he or she was already clearly intoxicated? Did the seat belt and airbag in the victim's car work effectively? Was the highway clearly marked and properly maintained, or did poor road design contribute to the accident in any way?
