Tragically, some accidents are so severe they result not only in injury to another person but in death. If the fatality was caused by the negligence of another party, then the survivors of the deceased may bring a wrongful death action. Those survivors may include the loved one’s spouse, domestic partner, children or, if none exist, other heirs. While no legal action can bring back the loss of a loved one, the personal injury attorneys at Hawks Quindel S.C. are here to seek justice and to recover compensation to support the financial well-being for the family going forward.
Our Wrongful Death Lawyers Are Here to Help
The personal injury attorneys at Hawks Quindel S.C. are here to help navigate the legal process on behalf of the deceased and the deceased’s loved ones while the family attends to their immediate needs.
Wrongful death actions are complex, involving not only issues of liability but also a wide variety of damages depending on the deceased person’s own suffering and losses as well as the losses of the family members. Hawks Quindel’s wrongful death lawyers will work to recover the various damages available, including medical bills, funeral expenses, lost wages, pain and suffering, loss of society and companionship and all other compensable losses resulting from the incident.
The statute of limitations on a wrongful death action can run quickly. Generally, it is three years from the date of injury, though it is two years in a case involving a motor vehicle accident.
