Wrongful Death
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR PREVENTABLE FATAL ACCIDENTS
If a loved one died because of someone’s careless, reckless or intentional acts, you may have grounds for a wrongful death claim. The Law Offices of Harris & Literski offers compassionate and personalized attention to families while holding the negligent parties to justice.
We offer our condolences and our sincere desire to help. Our legal team will deal with the insurance companies and all associated legal matters so that you can attend to family matters and focus on regrouping and rebuilding. We invite you to arrange a free consultation today.
Our skilled trial lawyers can identify the negligence that directly or indirectly killed your loved one. If we cannot obtain a fair settlement through negotiations, we are prepared to present our detailed case to a jury.
A wrongful death lawsuit compensates the surviving family members for their tangible losses such as loss of household income, medical and funeral expenses, loss of consortium and companionship, and loss of household services and contributions to family life. Additional damages may apply if the victim endured conscious pain and suffering prior to death.
