What is a wrongful death & how can my family be compensated for the loss of our loved one?


Wrongful death is when someone suffers a personal injury and is killed as a result of their injuries. Some of the most common causes of wrongful death include auto accidents, DWI accidents, workplace accidents, pedestrian accidents, and slip and falls.
