“I had an excellent experience with Karissa and Shane. Shane guided me through every step of the way and communication was ten out of ten.

If none of these conditions apply, a wrongful death lawsuit can also be filed on behalf of the deceased’s estate.
A wrongful death settlement is an amount of money awarded to surviving family members following the fatality of a family member. This is paid out by the insurance of the sued party, either following an out of court settlement or a verdict in court. Once damages are awarded, the surviving family members can divide the compensation among themselves.
If you’re looking to file a wrongful death on behalf of your loved one you have up to two years from the date they die to file a claim with a wrongful death attorney.
A specialized attorney will work out the total financial compensation that each unique wrongful death case deserves based on a few different factors.
