A fatal accident is devastating for everyone left behind. While a loved one can never be replaced, the law offers help for surviving family members whose loved ones were killed due to negligence by a third party. If your loved one was killed in a motor vehicle or workplace accident you may have grounds for a wrongful death claim. A wrongful death claim is a legal action where a surviving family member of the deceased can file a claim against another individual whose negligent actions resulted in the death of their family member.
Our wrongful death attorneys know that when a loved one passes away it can be an overwhelming and painful time. At this time of loss and confusion, you need legal advice that you can trust. The local, experienced attorneys at Berman & Russo have handled wrongful death cases of more than 30 years.
