Why Should You Hire a Wrongful Death Lawyer?

Back To Blog

Posted in Uncategorized

Wrongful death cases are one of the most difficult to deal with because they are incredibly upsetting. Lawyers are trained to go through the case in a professional and empathetic manner, but it never is easy having to go over the details of a loved one’s death, especially if it was caused because of someone else’s negligence. You always need to have an experienced wrongful death lawyer, like a lawyer from Brandy Austin Law Firm, PLLC, on your side if you or someone you care about is dealing with a potential wrongful death lawsuit. Sadly, there is no way for anyone to bring a loved one back who has passed away, but their family members should not be having financial difficulties on top of everything else. It is important to hold the at-fault party accountable for their actions or inactions that caused death. 

A Lawyer Will Focus on Your Case, While You Focus on Healing

It is crucial to have someone working on your case, even in the early stages of everything. Not only is it important to collect evidence and witness statements while they are still fresh, but it is also important to make sure all of the necessary paperwork is filed on time. If you miss a statute of limitations for filing, you will not be able to collect compensation. 

A Lawyer Will Try to Make Sure Justice Is Served

As we mentioned before, it is impossible to bring a loved one back after an untimely death. Nevertheless, it is important to hold the at-fault party responsible for their actions so that this does not happen to anyone else ever again. They should have to pay for their negligence and you should not have to pay anything for the funeral costs or lost wages from your loved one. 

A Lawyer Will Understand What Kind of Compensation You May Be Eligible For

You deserve compensation for your loved one’s death. You may have depended on them for a certain amount of money for your cost of living. You deserve to continue getting this even after your loved one is gone. The at-fault party needs to provide this money for you, as you would still be getting it if your loved one was around. A lawyer will know how to calculate future lost wages for your loved one and know what a judge will find fair in court. You also deserve to have the funeral paid for and will likely want to file for pain and suffering, as this event was incredibly traumatic. You may need therapy and other coping mechanisms, which you should not have to pay for yourself.
