There are many causes which can result in death, including car accidents, fires and defective products to name a few. When that happens, the resulting lawsuit is called a "wrongful death" action. Our attorneys have extensive experience in protecting the rights of survivors of an individual killed as a result of another's negligence.

Families of the deceased should file wrongful death personal injury lawsuits on their loved ones' behalves. These civil lawsuits, which do not bear any criminal charges, help families recover damages for pain and suffering, lost wages, mental anguish, loss of companionship, medical costs, and other expenses. Punitive damages may also be awarded if there is evidence of malicious intent.

We understand that pursuing a wrongful death suit doesn't bring back a loved one. However, it can provide financial security in future years for you and your children. To discuss the next steps as you deal with your loss, schedule a free consultation with Attorney Neil O’Donnell.
