The death of a loved one is an incredibly difficult and sad moment in our lives and the impact of the death can affect your family’s mental states and finances for years to come. A wrongful death suit is made in response to the death of one due to negligent behavior or intentional actions on the part of an individual or organization.
Wrongful death lawsuits seek damages–compensation for the survivors’ loss, such as lost wages from the deceased, lost companionship, and funeral expenses.
The hope is that these lawsuits will allow the surviving loved ones to alleviate the burden of costs around the funeral and other expenses as well as compensation for lost future wages. There are a number of actions that can be held to account in a wrongful death lawsuit such as failure to provide safe workplace conditions, distracted driving, and medical malpractice. Individuals and organizations can also be held accountable if it is found that their intentional acts led to a wrongful death.
Common circumstances for a wrongful death claim include but are not limited to:
– Vehicle Accident
– Drug Overdose or Poisoning
– Construction Accidents
– Slip and Falls
– Defective Product Accidents

Wrongful Death Claims FAQ
The cause of a death can be disputed between parties, and these disagreements can make claims challenging to handle. In many cases, you will also need to contend with insurance companies unwilling to give you the full amount you deserve. When you have an attorney in your corner, these hurdles become much easier to clear, and you are much more likely to receive financial compensation.
The Guardians of the Injured operates on a contingency fee basis. This means that we only get paid when we win your case for you (we get a percentage of the settlement). This means that we only benefit when you do.
There are a lot of factors that can go into the value of your claim. These factors will generally revolve around the various details of the case, such as insurance limits, the severity of the injuries, and the long-term prospects for work and quality of life. The factors that will be looked at include medical bills, loss of earning ability and wages, and the level of pain and suffering experienced.
No hard number can be given for the value of a case right away. Medical records will need to be examined, statements taken, and other factors will need to be weighed. We can give you a rough estimate based on past precedence.

For all other legal proceedings, the timetables can fluctuate greatly depending on various factors.

There is no single answer as the “statutes of limitations” (the time limit for filing a claim) will vary depending on the type of lawsuit and the state you live in.
