Wrongful death

Securing Fair Compensation and Closure for Families Facing Wrongful Death

Thorough Investigation and Compassionate Counsel for Losses Due to Negligence

The sudden loss of a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is an incredibly painful and life-altering experience. At Maximus Law, we understand the profound emotional and financial impact of wrongful death cases. These tragic events can result from a variety of circumstances, including car accidents, workplace accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, or criminal acts. No matter the cause, we are here to help grieving families navigate the complex legal process and pursue justice for their lost loved ones. 

   

At Maximus Law, we recognize that no amount of compensation can ever bring back a loved one. However, we are committed to providing families with the resources and financial support they need to recover and rebuild their lives after a tragic loss. Our experienced team works diligently to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death and identify all liable parties, which may include individuals, companies, or government entities. 

 

In wrongful death cases, compensation can be sought for several types of damages, including: 

  • Funeral and burial expenses: We seek compensation for the costs of your loved one’s funeral, burial, and related expenses. 
  • Medical expenses: This includes any medical bills or costs incurred before your loved one’s death due to the accident or injury. 
  • Lost wages and earning capacity: We work to recover compensation for the wages your loved one would have earned had they survived, as well as any future lost earning potential. 
  • Loss of companionship and consortium: Surviving family members can be compensated for the emotional loss of their relationship with the deceased. 
  • Pain and suffering: Although this is more difficult to quantify, we seek damages for the pain and suffering that the deceased endured before passing. 
  • Loss of care or services: If the deceased provided services, support, or childcare to their family, compensation can be sought for the loss of those contributions.
