Wrongful death lawsuits are very complex and come during a difficult time. For these reasons we strongly recommend that you consult with an experienced wrongful death attorney as soon as possible after your father’s death. Our San Diego law firm has recovered money for families since 1992 for damages, including:
- Funeral and burial expenses
- Loss of benefits
- Loss of care, comfort and support
- Loss of current and future earnings
- Loss of expected inheritance
- Medical bills
The plaintiff has the burden of proof, meaning it is our job to prove that the wrongful death was caused by the responsible party. If the cause of death can only be determined by an autopsy — and the government decides this is not legally required — our wrongful death attorneys will arrange and pay for a private autopsy on your behalf. Remember, the people who are making a claim must show that the responsible party was cause of death, not the other way around.
The responsible party’s insurance company will probably not explain all of your legal rights because it only wants to pay you as little as possible. As if that’s not enough, insurance companies will attempt to poke holes in your relationship with a family member, or they’ll even claim that you rarely saw or lived far away from each other.
You should not have to deal with this situation on your own. Call us now at 1-800-655-6585 for a FREE consultation with an experienced wrongful death attorney in San Diego or click here to submit your case for a FREE online review. We handle all cases on a contingency fee basis, which means that you owe nothing until we recover money on your behalf.
