Wrongful Death
Memphis Wrongful Death Attorneys
The premature death of a loved one due to the negligence or misconduct of another is a truly incomprehensible situation. By law, survivors of the deceased may be entitled to receive compensation for a wrongful death. These benefits can include funeral costs, medical expenses, pain and suffering, loss of wages and emotional distress for the loss of a loved one. Wrongful death attorneys can help make your claims for the following accident types:
- Automobile accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Tractor-trailer accidents
- Defective products
- Dangerous premises
- Falls
- Drowning
- Electric shock
- Criminal acts
- Other accidental or intentional causes
A spouse, a child or other surviving next of kin may file a claim of wrongful death. Many times these claims involve complex legal, liability and law issues which is why having good wrongful death attorneys is important. There is a statute of limitations that limits the time a family has to bring a wrongful death claim. Negligence or other liability needs to be legally established and the burden of proving legal responsibility falls on the family bringing the claim. Unfortunately, insurance companies are not always willing to offer compensation that is equivalent to the full financial impact of an injury. This is why it is crucial that you have knowledgeable Memphis Personal Injury Attorneys working with you. Don’t delay or put off hiring a team of wrongful death attorneys to protect your family’s rights. At Porter & Strange, PLLC we stand ready to assist you, so call us today for your free, no obligation, case evaluation.
