Death cases are difficult for many of the people affected by them. The loss of a loved one’s income and no longer having that special person in you life are difficult things to handle.
Here is my advice if a negligent person kills someone you love:
First, before you handle your legal matters, please talk to a grief counselor or people who have been through what you are experiencing. You’ll need comfort that an attorney is not qualified to provide. Take care of yourself and your emotional needs. It’s important.
Next, call me for a free consultation. I’ll be honored to discuss your case with you and give you my honest opinion of it. If I feel the case has merit but I cannot take it, then I’ll refer you to other attorneys who might be interested in representing you.
Death cases themselves are not overly-complicated, but there are numerous issues with liens, probate, and setting up trusts that may come up. Experts may be required to testify about how the person’s death affects your financial future, for one, and other experts may be needed to prove other aspects of the case. Your attorney must know how to address these issues and deal with the insurance company to ensure you receive the full amount of compensation that you deserve.
If you are reading this page because you lost a loved one, please accept my sincerest condolences. This is likely a confusing and painful time for you, and no one can truly know how you feel.
