No amount of compensation can erase the grief you feel after losing a parent, spouse, child or loved one who suffered an untimely and unnecessary death. You may also be suddenly experiencing financial difficulties and our office offers a free initial consultation to help evaluate your claim. We recognize that wrongful death and survivor claims are often the only form of financial security available for family members following a devastating loss. We devote our resources to recovering the maximum compensation possible in your case. Any type of accident can lead to a wrongful death, but common accidents resulting in wrongful death claims and lawsuits include:

• Vehicle accidents
• Pedestrian accidents
• Nursing home abuse
• Workplace injuries

Additionally, the types of damages we recover depend on the facts of your claim, but may include:

• Medical expenses
• Funeral and burial costs
• Loss of anticipated earnings of your loved one
• Loss of benefits such as healthcare, Social Security income and pensions

As you mourn the loss of your loved one, we know beginning a lawsuit may seem overwhelming; however, West Virginia’s statute of limitations gives a strict deadline for filing your wrongful death claim. In most cases, you have only two years from the date your loved one died or you forfeit your right to recover compensation. We will act quickly and make the legal process as easy as possible on your family during this difficult time.

If you have questions regarding your rights after the avoidable death of a loved one, call us at (304) 788-5768 today. We will help your family seek justice for your deceased family member.
