How Do You Know You Need a Lawyer?

If you’re being offered compensation from an insurance company, how do you know if it's the right amount? How do you know if you’re getting everything you’re entitled to according to the law? And if you aren’t being offered compensation, does that mean you’re not owed any? Each state allows the heirs of a family to file a wrongful death lawsuit in the event of another party's negligence causing the death of a loved one. A wrongful death action can, however, hold the responsible party accountable, deter similar harmful conduct in the future, and obtain necessary funds to pay medical bills, funeral expenses, and help make up for lost wages and benefits provided by your deceased loved one.

There is no adequate way to compensate you for your loss. However, by holding those responsible financially accountable for their negligence, you could be helping to ensure that another family does not have to go through the pain and loss you are experiencing.
