Wrongful injury and death claims address the most severe consequences of negligence. Incidents resulting in permanent, life-altering physical impairment or the loss of human life. Unlike standard personal injury claims or administrative worker’s compensation proceedings, these cases focus on securing long-term economic stability for surviving family members, establishing future care funds for catastrophic injuries, and seeking accountability for catastrophic loss. Our practice guides estate representatives and surviving relatives through state wrongful death and survival statutes to pursue full legal recovery.

Navigating a wrongful injury or death claim requires evaluating both survival action damages accrued prior to passing and statutory wrongful death recoveries available to eligible surviving beneficiaries. Economic damages compensate for quantifiable financial losses, including emergency medical care prior to death, funeral and burial expenses, loss of expected future lifetime earnings, and the value of lost household support. Non-economic damages address the deep personal impact on surviving family members, encompassing mental anguish, loss of companionship, loss of spousal consortium, and loss of parental guidance and care. In cases involving gross negligence, willful misconduct, or reckless disregard for safety, exemplary or punitive damages may also be pursued to hold responsible parties fully accountable under state law.
