Wayne Grant was there for me during what could only be described as the worst time in my life. He was professional, yet personable and left no stone unturned in getting standard operating procedures changed in hospitals to make certain what happened to me cannot ever happen to anyone else again. He was willing to take my case even though he
knew it would be an up hill battle all the way. He was kind and
compassionate and always available whenever I had questions or just
needed to talk about what I was going through. I can't imagine needing legal representation and not having Wayne. He is dependable, dedicated to the case, and determined to do what is right no matter what.

Being part of a lawsuit is frustrating. It is emotionally and mentally draining. I am glad Wayne was my lawyer. He was with me throughout the last five years and coping with the situation at hand was much easier with him by my side. Hospitals should be held accountable for any negligence concerning the quality of patient care. Wayne felt the same way. He always knew the latest update concerning the case. I received a letter or email every six weeks. I called quite a bit too. If I had a question, he explained it until I understood the situation. He genuinely cared for me and my well-being. I was nervous about the lawsuit so much that I often times became ill thinking about it. Wayne was always there to listen. There are lawyers and great lawyers. I was blessed with a great lawyer.

My wife and I were involved as non-ticketed injured parties in two automobile accidents in 2011. We have just concluded 3-3/4 years of negotiations stemming from those accidents, with the help of our excellent attorney, Ms. Rebecca Albano.
This process involved extended communication with representatives of three insurance companies, the drivers / car owners and their attorneys, plus administrative representatives from more than a dozen medical firms and therapeutic treatment providers. Ms. Albano took care of all the myriad of details, red tape, and paperwork as our legal representative.
At one point, she provided a five-inch stack of accumulated documentation copies to a doctor with the information necessary for him to conduct a comprehensive interview and form an objective medical opinion. This amount of material indicates the complexity of our case, and Ms. Albano’s thoroughness.
Ms. Albano was hired by the Paul Wilkinson Law Firm in part because of her experience as a trial lawyer. We were assigned to work with her from the start, and she was always available to meet as we had questions, progressed with treatments, and submitted innumerable records and bills. Her guidance and recommendations on the litigation process were invaluable, saving us lots of time and headaches. She also was sincerely concerned for our well-being and healing progress, and suggested additional diagnostic / therapy resources to us to help speed our recovery.
We found Ms. Albano to be consistently tough and proactive on our behalf, and very well informed on the whole legal morass with which we were suddenly confronted. We would have been immediately overwhelmed and outnumbered, had it not been for her expertise and caring. She kept us informed, gave us good advice based on her broad experience, and always explained our alternatives then let us make the final decisions along the way.
Naturally, we followed her as she left the law firm where we first met, and initiated her own business. We had built up a great deal of confidence, trust, and rapport with Ms. Albano. She continued to represent us well as we concluded the first settlement, then moved through final mediation on the second.
We feel that Ms. Albano was instrumental in negotiating fair agreements, which provided enough money to pay all of our medical / treatment / related bills, her own fees, and left enough for us to continue with some necessary ongoing rehab / maintenance treatments. She worked hard and successfully for us, and we will definitely call upon Ms. Albano if we have need for an attorney in the future.

Rebecca Albano was honest, attentive and very caring. She truly cares about you and your family. She kept us informed and up to date throughout the entire process. She is very informative regarding the law, she knows her stuff! Our family has used Rebecca for several instances that required an experienced attorney, she has never let us down. She has been consistently helpful and knowledgeable. She changed my daughters life for the better without even having to enter a court room! Thank You for everything Rebecca!!

David is simply the best. I hired him to represent me against one of the most powerful institutions in middle georgia, which wasn't an easy task. In the end, he recovered 100% of the money that the bank owed me, with the minimum amount of conflict. Thats what a good lawyer does--he solves problems, quietly, and efficiently.

Mr. Gorski represented me after an auto accident, and I am very pleased with the way he dealt with my medical providers and negotiated settlements. I'm sure I would not have had the same personalized care with any other firm. Mr. Gorski and his staff worked hard on my behalf so I could focus on recovery. I recommended Mr. Gorski to a colleague after her injury in an accident, and she was extremely pleased with Mr. Gorski's representation.

After two and a half years, I ended up being very satisfied with my case. I met Glen Lerner 20 years ago when he would come into my restaurant in Vegas before going to his gym. He made me believe in his firm. Tom Howard and his team were awesome. I'm very happy.

I have met with attorneys who have wanted to "take control" of the conversation every time we talk. Laura is not one of these. She listens attentively, makes sure she understands all aspects of the situation, and then uses her vast knowledge of injury law to help out. I would be confident sending any friends or family to her for legal advice and help.

Laura was recommended to me by a friend, and I am so glad that I did not follow my original inclination to go with one of the "big names" in Las Vegas. Laura has a small, boutique practice, and her personalized attention made all the difference. She answered all of my calls, emails and gave me clear, understandable information. She negotiated my medical bills down to almost nothing, and got me the settlement I know I deserved based on my injuries and traumatic experience. She is just the best!

I needed an attorney in 2011 for a case where I was run over by an ex boyfriend. I highly recommend Mr. Neustrom. My family contacted Mr. Neustrom while I was in the hospital (Wichita, Ks) a hour and fifteen minutes away from home and he drove to the hospital the next day to speak with me. He went above and beyond. Mr. Neustrom and the rest of the team eased my mind about the whole process. Definitely great customer service and professionalism. All my calls were answered and or returned. Honest and trustworthy. He mailed me a check after the case was settled due to the companies lack of communication for payment. Mr. Neustrom is the one I will call on. Thank you so much for everything!

After I moved to Nebraska, he still help me to understand some legal questions even introduced me his office attorney to help when he was busy. Once again, he works hard and help me a lot but only for money.

When I was injured in an on-the-job accident in 1999, Pat was the attorney I chose to represent me because he was a neighbor and a personal friend, who I had known for nearly ten years. Pat helped me secure an award for the state maximum amount, as well as an agreement that obligated the work comp insurer for future, accident-related, medical expenses. I settled into an amicable relationship with the insurer that lasted for nearly 10 years, but suddenly, for reasons that I've never been able to discern, I began having trouble securing insurance approval for prescribed medicines. Additionally, the insurer demanded I consult a physician located 3 hours away because they were "concerned about the quality of care" my pain management physician was providing. I suspected their concern was more likely centered on prescription cost, rather than quality of care, but I knew I needed legal help to resolve the issue. Even though it had been nearly a decade since Pat had worked on my case, he and his staff gathered the information they needed to adequately, successfully, confront the insurance company and convince them that they would not fare well if this matter would appear before a judge. It's probably no surprise that the insurance company tried several times to make it more difficult for me to maintain the level of pain control I enjoyed prior to their "concern" for my welfare, but Pat successfully met and overcame every challenge. He also submitted the bill for his services to the insurance company, who having been unable to produce a single, successful, legal outcome, signaled total defeat by paying for my defense! I don't know how Pat's performance could possibly be improved.
Pat provides advice that is reasoned and reliable. His strategies are informed by nearly 40 years of experience, which renders them particularly effective. He is practical, but he never made me feel that I was just a "client" or that my issues were just components of a "case". Pat never lost sight of me as a person, and he understood that the result of the insurance company's failure to live up to their responsibilities, was an increase in my physical pain. Pat and his excellent staff worked with an urgency that made me feel as though they were experiencing that same pain. Who could ask anything more?
I give Patrik Neustrom my highest recommendation.

Mr. Alberts is an excellent attorney. He communicates well with his clients, kept me informed through every step of my lawsuit, and kept re-negotiating until he reached a settlement that I was happy with. Mr. Alberts cares about his clients and is thorough and meticulous with his cases. I highly recommend this attorney if you want to win your case and have an attorney that cares and communicates with his clients. This attorney is a proven winner!

taking a moment to say what an awesome attorney Erik is although it's been a couple years since he did work for me. He's on my mind as I just referred a colleague to him for a personal injury matter. I have referred more people to him than I can count, in a variety of areas, but particularly personal injury and landlord tenant. the first thing I will say is that he genuinely seemed to care about my situation (a nightmare of a landlord tenant situation - me the tenant without much power). I felt like he wanted to get my problem solved and compensate me for my economic loss and stress along the way and that's exactly what he did. He completely understood my aversion to litigation, despite the fact that I am also a lawyer ha! He crafted a very persuasive demand letter and got me 100% of what I asked for. LL literally caved on every single thing. Most importantly, they immediately fixed the problem in my house which had been a nightmare, I won't disturb you with the details. All of this in a short period of time, no court hassle. Erik was kind, listened, and actually returned my phone calls. You will not find a better attorney!

There is not enough I can say about this man. He went above and beyond to prove my case and win. I never ever felt like I was bothering Shannon when I would call for updates. She and Jim truly are wonderful human beings. I could never have made it through with out either of them. When you go through a negative, life changing experience with an injury its good to know there are people like James Dunn out there that will fight the fight. Thank you Jim and Shannon from the bottom of my heart.

Mike will absolutely do over 100% for you and give you his honest and true opinion on your matter. He did for me, and sure appreciate all his research in my case and knows the law and what all possibilities might be involved. He will not do his job half-way and will cover all bases and fully communicate them and explain them to you. He was recommended by a family member and has been successful for our family in past cases. Not all cases are always in your best interests and Mike will advise and help you make good decisions for you and takes his job and your case seriously as if you were his own family member. You will not be disappointed in his work and staff as they are all thorough and professional. He kept his appointments with me, was honest and listened. He reviewed all information and helped me make a hard decision in a very emotional case involving a doctor, hospital, negligence, and malpractice. Learned a lot from Mike, and gained wisdom. Not all cases win financially, but some cases win eventually. Mike's one of the good guys!

I would rate Mr. Stephenson's representation as excellent. From the first time I spoke to Mr. Stephenson, he was able to immediately understand the facts of the situation and provide sound advice about how to proceed. I realized from the start that I was dealing with an extremely quick and competent person and this gave me comfort during a difficult time. From this first conversation and over the next year it took to resolve the case, Mr. Stephenson demonstrated a keen understanding of the facts and law. I would highly recommend Mr. Stephenson to friends and associates and without a doubt would use him again, if needed.

We hired Mr. Novotny last July to help us with my son's car accident. My son was hit by a driver going the wrong way and totaled out his brand new car of 2 weeks. There was a lot of confusion on which insurance was going to cover his accident as she was driving a rental car and also purchased their insurance. Doug dealt with the adjuster that was the WORST adjuster in the world for over a year. He kept in constant communication with us and always made us feel reassured. He was always on top of things even when he was unable to get a response for weeks from the adjuster. I was even able to reach out to him with questions in regards to finding someone to help with a different legal issue with my daughter and he was able to help point me in the right direction as well. I just know that I'm beyond grateful to have been referred to him and had him blessed us with his services. Doug if you see this, AGAIN THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING!!! If you are looking for someone who can get you the settlement that you deserve and someone that is willing to fight for you, then call Doug Novotny!!!

Mr. Doug Novotny has been a great help with me and this case , I had suffered a totaled car accident with my first car ever. I didn’t even get to make my first payment on it , only had it for 2 weeks . This lady from Australia had turned into me as I’m going straight under the traffic light as she was turning left on the opposite side of steeet and we kinda went head on then my car ran into the pole. The place I had got it from Big O Auto , the manager had referred me to him and I’m so glad he did , he’s the best lawyer anybody can have hands down. He’s so open & observes everything & tries or does help you as much as he can & get you in the care possibly because that’s what he did for me & I couldn’t thank him enough. The chiropractor and massages he referred me to 10/10 it helped me a lot and made me feel alot better . I had suffered some back & neck pain from it but as I was going through treatment and everything I was getting back to my normal self the massages had helped tremendously. Then after that I wasn’t to my full potential so he referred me to physical therapy and that was worth it after a month of that n constantly doing the stretches & techniques I felt somewhat normal again n getting myself back. Everything he been doing for me been very helpful & well needed . Settlement money is good and all and I appreciate him for helping me get the amount I got in extremely blessed for that but without his help and getting me in therapy I don’t think I would’ve been the same again . So thank you again Doug really!! Best lawyer ever not gon lie ! I deserve everything good that comes your way .

I found Mr. Novotny through the Nebraska Bar Association referral service and recommend him to those who need help fighting for equitable wages within a muddled contract; he will dissect, clarify, and interpret it accurately to ensure you receive adequate and fair compensation.
Mr. Novotny took the time to listen attentively to my concerns, gather all of the supporting evidence, and present my case in a dignified manner. He was extremely professional, upfront about the costs and possible outcomes—all while remaining positive and focused.
Mr. Novotny was also clearly responsive and timely with communication including emails, phone calls, and in-person appointments. I really appreciated that he was receptive of my input as he developed my case. I know without his representation I would have lost!
He also prepared me for my deposition in a way that allowed me to speak in a professional courteous manner and present myself in a positive light, which was very beneficial to my case. Overall, I am extremely satisfied and grateful for Mr. Novotny taking my case and #WINNING!!!

Rick did an exceptional job on my personal injury case.
My previous attorney wanted to settle for $5000. Rick spent the time getting a deposition from my doctor. After presenting that to the insurance company I got my full settlement of $125,000. He is not afraid to litigate in
court. You can also talk to him anytime because he gives you his cell number. I’m very happy I was referred to him.

I found myself one day needing legal aid to defend myself against charges of domestic assault, represention for divorce, and shared custody of my 3.5 year old child. Jennifer was referred too me by a friend. I meet with Jen, and felt from the start she was someone I could put my future in her hands. Jen had her work cut out for her because my now ex- wife had put togather a case against me to bet all cases. My assault case was dissmissed. My fight for shared custody went thur all the typical paths that one parent may take when trying to prove to the courts that another parent is unfit to have shared custody.Which included my child seeing a counselor at the age of 4 and 5. During my fight for custody I had asked Jen to do something that is most often frowned upon by the courts. That was to have my child be put on the witness stand in front of the judge, Presiding over my custody and divorce case. Along with many other factors in this case I strongly believe that the meeting of my child and the Judge showed the court how wrong it would be, and how much it may affect the way this child's life may have turned out had my ex gotten what she wanted. Jennifer fought for Shared Primary Residence, and won this for myself and my daughter. My daughter is 14 now and remembers everything that took place during the 3 years it took to get this case resolved. She does great in school. And has been playing basketball year round for 4 years now, she is in the 8th grade her grades are great, also does track.She has a life that would not be as it is had I not had a Lawyer that went the distance with every issue she could to prove the truth and get all the facts out for every one involved in my case too see. In the end I would not ever want to go through that mess again but if ever I had to I would want Jennifer Ferguson, to be repenting me in court. I always recommend Att. Ferguson to any one needing the best. I could never repay her for what she did for myself and my daughter. Like most Attorneys probably are she dosen't like to be personal with a client, but I know she has a heart of gold, and once in awhile she shows that great smile she try's to hide while doing her Job.

I met with a couple of lawyers prior to hiring Jennifer to handle my motion to modify case for my divorce judgment.
Unlike the other attorneys, Jennifer offered candid advice during our first meeting and described to me what my options were and the best case scenario could be.
She gave honest, frank, and realistic advice and feedback during the entire process and was very easy to work with. On several occasions the defendant in the case attempted to steer mediation discussions off topic and Jennifer turned the conversation back to the pertinent issues.
If you are looking for no nonsense, honest, and thorough counsel, I would highly recommend Jennifer Ferguson from Fales and Fales.

Two years ago, a friend and I were hit by a pickup truck crossing the street with stop lights. The guy who hit us was trying to avoid a red light and didn't see us. Because there were no witnesses or videos set up at the intersection, we didn't proceed as we didn't think we had a case. I just received from the insurance company of the gentleman who his us offering us a settlement. Jeff made phone calls and did the paperwork to help me get the settlement!
Jeff is a great guy, wonderful, very professional and worked very hard for me! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a terrific lawyer!

The Freidin Brown group are first class. We appreciate everything you did for us. Staying with us. Being patient with us. And, most importantly believing in us. Our family will forever have a feeling of gratitude for all that you have done.
There wasn’t anyone else we could have taken this journey with. Everyone was kind, professional, and thoughtful. As, an attorney before my accident occured; it gives me peace of mind to know there are those working in our field who truly care about the client, and not just the outcome.
Jonathon / Mr. Freidin, thank you, thank you, thank you.

I trust Mr. Weiss. Something that I can't say about many attorneys. He is extremely knowledgeable about medical malpractice cases. I wish he kept me better informed about the status of my case but realize it is a very long process without much to report a lot of the time. I would recommend him without any reservation.

Our biggest case involve a hostile takeover attempt involving a fraudulent investment group. Mr. Pearson stood by us and fought the issue all the way through until he successfully recaptured our company for us. I whole heartedly recommend his services.

I was in a traumatizing and debilitating traffic collision. I found Nicole and company through a friend of a friend. I had multiple injuries that were preventing me from living my life and maintaining my responsibilities. My injuries were more than intimidating, and my situation was extremely overwhelming and confusing. Nicole gave me peace of mind through effective communication and always making herself available when I would freak out about my situation. Her assertive and reassuring demeanor made me feel confident that everything was going to work out. I don't know how I would have survived this without Nicole and her associates. They made the entire process feel almost effortless, and by "process," I mean three years of medical appointments, physical therapy, surgery, more therapy, etc. Despite having to endure all of that, I had conviction that everything would be okay, even when I was on bed rest and could barely walk. I can't adequately express how positive my experience has been with Nicole and her associates.
We're almost done with the entire process, and I am very satisfied with the outcome. Nicole delivered! My injuries were treated by amazing physicians, and I'm anticipating a full recovery! All of my medical bills are paid, and I have more than enough to compensate for my expenses incurred because of the traffic collision. The best part of it all is Nicole didn't make me feel like a client or paycheck. She expressed genuine concern every step of the way and explained every possible avenue and their respective possible outcomes. She made me feel like a priority, and didn't push me to do anything. I am more than impressed with the exceptional quality of care I received through the entire process.
I hope I never have to experience a personal injury like this ever again, but I know exactly who I'm going to call if I do.

I feel very fortunate to have been recommended to Nicole Lari-Joni and her partner Torsten Bassell. When faced with personal tragedy and an overwhelming loss it is difficult to have the energy and know-how to navigate through legal action as well. My case had the additional challenge of working with estranged family members and their counsel. I wanted to make sure my voice was heard and my interests were upheld. Nicole put me at ease immediately. She is very personable and trustworthy and I knew she had my best interests at heart. Ms. Lari-Joni and Mr. Bassell provided the interface and worked well with the other counsel. They handled my case with professionalism and control as well as compassion. Ms. Lari-Joni has proven successes in these types of cases and added to that success by achieving the most optimal outcome for my case as well.

I was in an accident a few years back and got badly injured. Unfortunately, I made the silly decision of handling my claim with the insurance company myself at first. After the insurance company strung me along for months though, I decided to hire a lawyer and I asked a friend if he knew anybody good. He recommended Torsten and Nicole, who had helped my friend out in the past.
When I called Torsten and Nicole, I wasn't sure what I'd be getting into. I'd never had a lawyer before, but they talked to me about my case on the phone and then we met in person and I felt at ease. They never pushed me to do anything and were happy to meet with me to discuss my case whether I hired them or not. Of course, I ended up retaining them, and I couldn't be happier.
Nicole and Torsten worked so hard for me on my case and ended up filing a lawsuit and battling with the insurance company for about a year in court. Along the way, the insurance company kept tossing BS offers at us and I was getting really frustrated with the entire process. It seemed that the insurance company would never pay me what I deserved.
But Torsten and Nicole kept assuring me that the insurance company would come up with more money and that this was just the game they always played with people's lives. It turns out, they were right. After pushing and pushing through the lawsuit, the insurance company finally gave in and offered me a great settlement a few weeks before trial just as Torsten and Nicole predicted.
Obviously, I'm happy that I got the money I deserved. But I was even happier with who got me the money. Torsten and Nicole were not just my lawyers. They were my friends. They took the time to listen to me and understand my problems and they stood up for me until the end. There were ups and downs for me emotionally throughout the process, and if it weren't for them, I'd probably have broken down completely and taken one of the insurance company's BS offers. In the end, I know I got what I deserved because of Nicole and Torsten. They are wonderful people and made me feel confident that I had great attorneys in my corner.

While needing to hire a lawyer was not on my list of things to do in life, being in a position where I needed one brought me to the Rodenhouse Law Group. Wonderful people from start to finish. Audra McClure was amazing with communication from the initial meeting to the final contact. Their efforts certainly made a life changing experience one that was not rushed, felt like I was being pressured or just another number in their list of clients: they made me feel like everything I had to say was important regardless of how big or little the details were.

I know attorneys have a million cases, but Mr. Alexander really made me feel like I was his only client. He returned calls immedietely and even checked in on me from time to time. I felt very comfortable working with him and he was able to settle my case quickly and successfully. Hopefully nobody will have to go through what I went through, but if you do there's nobody else I'd rather have on my team.

My child was hit by a car while he was crossing the street in a school zone. The reckless driver’s insurance company completely denied my child’s serious injury motor vehicle accident claim, laying blame on my son. I brought the matter to Mr. Dow and he looked at it from an entirely different angle and articulated that position to the insurance company in undeniable terms. The insurance company buckled and paid nearly $100,000 even though they almost had me convinced my son was at fault when he was hit by a car. Mr. Dow’s firm was the difference in my son securing justice in his case and I recommend them highly. – T.A.

I was injured in a tractor-trailer wreck in Brunswick, Georgia while I was visiting from out of state. When I returned home to Florida, I called a large Florida law firm to try to handle my Glynn County, Georgia case. This was a mistake. The Florida attorneys could not get my case settled for a fair amount. Fortunately, the Florida firm contacted Mr. Dow to file a lawsuit on my behalf and he agreed to help. Once the case was filed and the trucking company started working against The Dow Firm, P.C., they saw what they were up against and started to talk about legitimate settlement numbers. In the end, Mr. Dow secured a litigated settlement for me which was double what I would have accepted. And it was way more than the Florida law firm had advised me to take. I am very thankful that J. got involved. He and his staff really took care in my representation and looked out for me. – L.P.

I suspected my husband died as a result of medical malpractice. I was referred to The Dow Firm, P.C. by another attorney who does not handle these types of wrongful death cases. Mr. Dow and his staff of experts (nurses and doctors) evaluated the situation and found that my husband had been victimized, but not as I originally suspected. The cause of my husband’s death was found in some obscure medical record entries which revealed an entirely different situation than the doctors had shared with me. Mr. Dow’s law firm’s investigative work was exceptional and I am so lucky I hired them. After we filed suit the doctor indicated he wanted to settle my case, but he and his insurance company tried to pay less than a reasonable amount. J. refused their offer and pressed on. Eventually, the other side caved in and paid what we demanded. I got unexpected answers and results in my case. Mr. Dow was passionate, assuring and firm the whole way. – L.H.

Vince represented us, helping out our family's defense on a frivolous lawsuit, a first for us which was stressful. He was engaged, guiding us through the process so we were prepared & told us what to expect. Although he had many cases going on, he was very thorough & always followed up w/o speaking too much "lawyerese". In today's age of bots & fakes, it's sometimes difficult to navigate reviews which may be phony. Vince has my contact info, you're welcome to set up a time to chat w me if you want more details or want to verify my review. I consider it a privilege to write a review for Vince, it's the least we can do considering all he did for us.

What a Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Do for You
A wrongful death lawyer specializes in representing families who have lost a loved one due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another person or entity. These lawyers help families seek compensation for the emotional and financial losses associated with the untimely death of a loved one, including medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering. Wrongful death claims can arise from various situations, including car accidents, medical malpractice, workplace accidents, and criminal actions.
If you have lost a family member due to someone else’s wrongful actions, a wrongful death lawyer can help you navigate the legal process and pursue justice on behalf of your loved one.
When Should I Hire a Wrongful Death Lawyer?
You should consider hiring a wrongful death lawyer if a loved one has died as a result of someone else’s negligence, recklessness, or intentional harm. Some common reasons to hire a wrongful death lawyer include:
- Car accidents: If a loved one was killed in a car, truck, or motorcycle accident caused by another driver’s negligence (e.g., reckless driving, DUI, or distracted driving), a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim.
- Medical malpractice: If a loved one died due to medical negligence, such as a misdiagnosis, surgical error, or medication mistake, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue compensation from the healthcare provider.
- Workplace accidents: If your loved one died in a workplace accident or due to unsafe working conditions, you may be entitled to compensation from the employer or third parties responsible for the unsafe conditions.
- Defective products: If a defective product caused your loved one’s death, a lawyer can help you file a wrongful death claim against the manufacturer or distributor of the product.
- Criminal actions: If your loved one was the victim of a criminal act, such as homicide or assault, a wrongful death lawyer can help you pursue a civil claim for damages, even if a criminal case is also ongoing.
- Nursing home negligence: If an elderly loved one died due to neglect or abuse in a nursing home, a lawyer can help you hold the facility accountable for their wrongful actions.
Hiring a wrongful death lawyer soon after the incident ensures that important evidence is preserved and that you can meet any legal deadlines for filing a claim.
What Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Do?
A wrongful death lawyer provides a wide range of services to help families navigate the legal complexities of a wrongful death claim and seek compensation for their losses. Their responsibilities often include:
- Investigating the death: Conducting a thorough investigation of the circumstances leading to your loved one’s death, gathering evidence such as medical records, accident reports, and witness statements.
- Establishing liability: Identifying who is legally responsible for your loved one’s death, whether it’s an individual, company, or government entity, and building a case showing how their negligence or wrongful actions caused the death.
- Calculating damages: Helping you determine the full extent of your financial and emotional losses, including funeral expenses, medical bills, lost income, loss of companionship, and pain and suffering.
- Filing a wrongful death claim: Preparing and filing the necessary legal documents to initiate a wrongful death lawsuit within the statute of limitations in your state.
- Negotiating settlements: Working with the responsible party’s insurance company or legal team to negotiate a fair settlement for your losses.
- Representing you in court: If a settlement cannot be reached, representing you in court by presenting evidence and making legal arguments to support your case.
- Handling legal deadlines: Ensuring that all legal filings are completed within the deadlines set by your state’s statute of limitations for wrongful death cases.
How Are Wrongful Death Lawyers Paid?
Wrongful death lawyers typically work on a contingency fee basis, meaning they only get paid if they win or settle the case. Here’s how it generally works:
- Contingency fee: The lawyer’s fee is usually a percentage of the total settlement or damages awarded, typically ranging from 25% to 40%. You won’t have to pay any upfront fees, and the lawyer only gets paid if they successfully recover compensation for you.
- No fee if no recovery: If the lawyer does not win or settle your case, you generally won’t owe them any legal fees.
- Case expenses: In addition to the contingency fee, you may also be responsible for reimbursing the lawyer for case-related expenses, such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs. These expenses are typically deducted from the settlement or award.
It’s essential to discuss the fee structure with your lawyer during the initial consultation to ensure you understand how much you will owe if your case is successful.
How Much Does a Wrongful Death Lawyer Cost?
The cost of hiring a wrongful death lawyer is usually based on a contingency fee structure, meaning you only pay if the lawyer recovers compensation for you. General cost estimates include:
- Contingency fee percentage: Most wrongful death lawyers charge between 25% and 40% of the total settlement or court award. For example, if you receive a $500,000 settlement and the lawyer’s fee is 33%, the lawyer would receive $165,000, and you would keep the remaining $335,000.
- Case expenses: In addition to the lawyer’s fee, expenses such as court costs, expert witness fees, and investigation costs may be deducted from the settlement or award. These expenses can range from $5,000 to $50,000 or more, depending on the complexity of the case.
Make sure to ask your lawyer for a clear explanation of their fees and case-related expenses before proceeding with your wrongful death claim.
Top Questions to Ask a Wrongful Death Lawyer
Before hiring a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to ask the right questions to ensure they have the experience and resources to handle your case. Key questions to ask include:
-
What experience do you have with wrongful death cases?
Ensure the lawyer has successfully handled cases similar to yours, whether it’s medical malpractice, car accidents, or workplace deaths. -
How do you charge for your services?
Clarify the lawyer’s contingency fee percentage and any additional costs, such as case expenses, that you may be responsible for. -
What is the likelihood of success in my case?
Ask the lawyer for an honest assessment of your case and any potential challenges that could affect the outcome. -
How long will the process take?
Wrongful death cases can take time to resolve, so ask how long the lawyer expects the process to last, from filing the claim to reaching a settlement or going to trial. -
Will you handle my case personally?
In larger firms, junior attorneys or paralegals may handle parts of the case. Make sure you know who will be managing your case and representing you in court. -
What types of damages can I recover?
Ask the lawyer to explain the types of compensation you may be entitled to, such as medical bills, funeral expenses, loss of income, and emotional suffering.
How to Check the Credibility of a Wrongful Death Lawyer
To ensure you are hiring a reputable wrongful death lawyer, take the following steps to verify their credentials and track record:
- Verify their bar status: Check with your state bar association to confirm that the lawyer is licensed to practice and has no history of disciplinary actions.
- Look for wrongful death experience: Review the lawyer’s website or professional profile to ensure they specialize in wrongful death cases and have successfully handled cases like yours.
- Read client reviews and testimonials: Look for client reviews on platforms like Avvo, Martindale-Hubbell, or Google to see what previous clients have said about the lawyer’s professionalism and success rate.
- Ask for references: A reputable lawyer should be able to provide references from past clients who have worked with them on wrongful death cases.
- Check for certifications or memberships: Membership in organizations like the American Association for Justice (AAJ) or local bar associations can indicate the lawyer’s dedication to wrongful death and personal injury law.
What Should I Prepare for My First Consultation?
To get the most out of your first consultation with a wrongful death lawyer, it’s important to come prepared with relevant documents and information. Here’s what you should bring:
- Death certificate: Bring a copy of your loved one’s death certificate, as this is a key document in wrongful death cases.
- Medical records: If applicable, bring your loved one’s medical records, autopsy reports, or any documentation of their medical care leading up to their death.
- Accident or incident reports: If the wrongful death resulted from an accident, bring any police reports, accident reports, or workplace incident reports.
- Financial records: Provide documentation of your loved one’s income, benefits, and financial contributions to the family to help calculate economic damages.
- Correspondence: Bring any communication you’ve had with the responsible party, their insurance company, or legal representatives.
- List of questions: Prepare a list of questions for the lawyer about the legal process, potential outcomes, and fees.
- Timeline of events: Be ready to provide a clear timeline of the events leading up to and following your loved one’s death.
By preparing thoroughly for your consultation, you can help the lawyer assess your case more effectively and provide the best possible legal advice.
