If you want an attorney that treats you like family, answers all your questions with ease and will fight for you, just ask for Justin Edwards! It was such a relief knowing he was on my side. He followed through with everything he promised and that is a rare attribute to find in a person these days. Just go ahead and give them a call!

The guidance and patience exhibited by Attorney LaRue and his team were paramount in the successful navigation of this event for my family and I. In a perfect world I won't have to ring his phone anytime soon, but should the Truck of Life dump on me again, I wouldn't hesitate to dial them up.

My attorney David was realistic, thoughtful and genuine as well. Overall I was grateful for their help navigating a stressful experience. I would absolutely recommend this law office if you have any personal injury concerns. I was taken care of and spoken to with respect each step of the way. I’m so grateful for everyone that helped me

How to Protect Your Wrongful Death Claim

Wrongful death cases have a lot of moving parts that you might not be aware of. Below are some important things to think about when fighting for justice:

Insurers Will Try to Undervalue or Unfairly Deny Your Claim

Insurers are not always looking out for you. They are often encouraged to pay out claims at low amounts that do not cover claimants’ losses. They will also have adjusters reach out to claimants after they file in an effort to catch these individuals off-guard. Do not let this happen to you.

Your wrongful death lawyer can take over calls from the insurer as soon as you hire them. We want to make sure that you know what all of your losses are worth before saying “yes” to a settlement offer. We can evaluate how your loved one’s passing has affected your life and determine the value of your losses.

Claims Adjusters Can Take Your Words Out of Context

The insurance adjuster might call you shortly after your loved one’s passing and ask you “loaded” questions. If they catch you admitting that you think your loved one might have been at fault for their injuries, they could argue that you do not deserve compensation.

Avoid Discussing Your Case On Social Media

You must refrain from posting on social media about the situation. If you post anything that could make your loved one responsible for their passing, this information could be used to contest your case.

What Types Of Compensation Am I Entitled to in a Wrongful Death Case?

Losing a loved one can be very difficult, especially if their death was caused by the negligence of another party.

You could recover damages to pay for:

The pain of losing your loved one
Your family member’s end-of-life medical bills
The loss of your loved one’s income
Any loss of your own income, if you had to take time off work to care for the decedent before they passed
Funeral and burial costs
Loss of consortium or parental guidance

There might be other elements of your case that could qualify you for a settlement or court award. Your lawyer can explain the types of damages that you may be eligible to recover.
