Wrongful Death/Severe Personal Injuries
An action for wrongful death, or any other personal injury, is a specialized form of civil litigation, but because of the nature of the lawsuit itself, often is extremely emotional for a victim's family. Our attorneys approach any wrongful death action with aggressive, but sensitive representation that seeks to satisfy our clients' needs by obtaining compensation for defendants' negligence. Our Firm takes great pride in its representation of injured persons or their families. As with any civil litigation matter, we always prepare for trial, and aggressively protect our clients' interests. We have tremendous experience litigating against insurance companies and their policyholders, and recognize that many of them will not voluntarily fulfill their responsibility to pay legitimate claims, but rather, must be forced to do so.
The following are just a few of our representative cases:
- Secured more than $2 million in settlement proceeds and judgments on behalf of a boy who was blinded when he was shot in the eye by four teenagers who were joyriding.
- Negotiated a half-million dollar settlement on behalf of a retired man who was killed when the car he was driving was struck by a sheriff's deputy's patrol car.
- We currently represent the families of two inmates who committed suicide at two different county jails.
