A "wrongful death" occurs when a person is killed due to the negligence or
misconduct of another individual, company or entity.

Every state has a civil "wrongful death statute," or set of statutes, which
establish the procedures for bringing wrongful death actions.

An action for wrongful death belongs to certain persons identified by statute.

In most states, such persons will include the decedent's immediate family
members, such as surviving spouses and children, and sometimes parents
or siblings.

An attorney experienced in wrongful death law can explain all of the
intricacies of these lawsuits and help achieve the best possible outcome for
survivors.
In order to bring a successful wrongful death cause of action, the following
elements must be present:

•         The death of a human being;
•         Caused by another's negligence;
•         Loss as a result of the death, and;
•        The survival of family members or others named by a particular state's
     statute as being entitled to sue.


A wrongful death claim may arise out of a number of circumstances, such as in
the following situations:

•        Medical malpractice that results in decedent's death;
•        Automobile or airplane accident;
•        Occupational exposure to hazardous conditions or substances;
•        Death during a supervised activity.


Deaths occur through the negligence of other drivers, incompetent doctors,
dangerous products, plane crashes, boating accidents, hunting accidents, and
even animal attacks.

Richard Sindell & Associates are trained in the technical laws which permit the
recovery of legal compensation for the families of victims killed by other
peoples' negligence. The law has specific requirements that must be followed
by your lawyer to create a successful claim for fair compensation. Financial
recovery can be obtained for lost wages, society, companionship, advice,
counsel, guidance and other types of family losses which a lawyer must
carefully compute and present with expert witnesses.
