A wrongful death lawsuit can be filed by surviving loved ones when the death was caused from the wrongful act of another. This may be intentional, negligence, reckless, or an omission. Generally, if an incident happens for which a person could have brought forward a personal injury claim if they survived, this translates to a wrongful death case if the victim passed away. A wrongful death case is not a criminal suit, it is handled at the civil level. There may also be a criminal trial that coincides along with the civil lawsuit, but they are not the same court matter. The intention of a wrongful death case is to compensate the surviving loved ones for their grief and any financial costs that resulted from the death. Our dedicated wrongful death attorney knows that there is no amount of money that can undo someone’s life being taken away. What this case can do is provide you with the financial means to take care of yourself and your family amidst this immense loss.
A person’s life may be taken in a myriad of situations. When it comes to wrongful death cases, there are incidents that tend to be most common.

"I was recommended by my stepmother who used them for an accident and I have a terrible accident, got stuck between 3 bad drivers. Very messy situation and Loren handled it very well and was respectful the whole time despite us being a younger couple. I highly recommending them and will use them again if needed."
