A wrongful death lawsuit gives the loved ones of a departed family member some semblance of justice. By filing a wrongful death claim, you can do right by your loved one.
 
“Insurance companies will try to save money, even if it means not fully compensating a family for the wrongful death of a loved one. When a family retains an attorney immediately, it gives the family time to grieve their loss, and their attorney can start focusing on holding the negligent party accountable,” Tyler Toomey, a seasoned wrongful death attorney at Sweet Lawyers says.
