What is a Wrongful Death?   A Wrongful Death Is:

Who May Bring A Claim?

In most states, the decedent's immediate family members or surviving spouse, children, and sometimes parents may bring a claim and/or the personal representative of the deceased's estate.

 Do I Need a Lawyer?  Am I getting the Truth?

Most likely Yes.  When a loss occurs which may be the result of negligence, a timely investigation may be the difference in discovering the true causes.  A wrongful death lawyer should be consulted because:

● Critical evidence can be destroyed or lost;

● State laws governing wrongful death may eliminate the recovery if legal criteria is not met.  For example, some cities and states need to be notofied of the claim within a short time period from the accident or incident.

● Law not followed.  For example, drug testing of truck drivers after an accident as required by law to be completed may not.

● Witnesses may be harder to identify or find and testimony lost.  Police reports may list a simple telephone number for a witness who may change telephone numbers and be difficult to reach later on. 

Therefore, surviving family members should consult with an attorney.  

 Do I Have A Wrongful Death Case and If So, What Damages May I Recover?

When injured by wreckless, careless or negligence or intentional conduct such as an inattentive truck driver or an unsafe product or workplace or construction site, or an assault, most people want to know two important items: "Do I have a good case?" and "What is the value of my case?" You also need to know which family members can bring a wrongful death claim or case.

Do I Have a Case?  Do I Have A Wrongful Death Case?

How do I know if I have a wrongful death case or negligence case? The primary issue is whether liability can be established and negligence shown based upon the actions or inactions of other person or company. The laws of each state are different, butessentially, if someone has failed to meet the miminum standards in an industry or has acted with disregard for the rights welfare and safety of another, they are liable for there actions. If more than one company contributed to the injury or death, all are potentially liable. At The Cary Schulman Law Firm, to determine whether or not you have a case, often times experts are called upon for their expertise in a particular area. For example, if the deceased fell off of a platform in a warehouse, a warehouse safety expert could be used to determine whether or not the employer installed proper safety measures or properly trained its employees and in a highway accident involving a truck, an accident reconstructionist may be used to determine who switched lanes first and at what point in the road the vehicle first struck. See some of our recent cases.

You have a good case if we can establish negligence, causation, and show that you were physically, financially, and/or emotionally injured or harmed. Cary Schulman and his team of professionals and highly experienced and aggressive staff have the experience to determine liability in tough cases and prove it to an insurance adjuster or a jury if necessary. Contacting a lawyer quickly is critical to preserving evidence that supports your case.

What Is My Case Worth?

One cannot predict what a particular jury will do and how a particular trial will go and there is no magic formula that can calculate the damages you would receive. Personal injury litigation is not a science which can determine how much will be awarded for a particular set of circumstances, but rather it is an art and good experienced lawyers can quantify the range of value of a case using the maximum potential of a case and its likelihood of success. Further, your claim is worth what your attorney can convince an insurance company or jury to pay. Common sense plays a big role as well as calculated economic loss.

Some factors used in determining damages include actual economic loss, that is lost income and revenues, as well as non-economic losses as commonly referred to as pain & suffering, mental anguish and loss of life.
