What Could Happen if You Don’t Hire an Attorney for a Wrongful Death Claim?

Choosing not to hire an attorney when filing a wrongful death claim can severely impact the outcome of the case. Without legal representation, the bereaved most of the time, struggle to understand the complexities of the law, including the statute of limitations, burden of proof, and necessary documentation.

Furthermore, insurance companies may take advantage of this lack of knowledge and will offer low settlements or even attempt to dismiss the claim entirely.

Wrongful death cases often involve multiple parties and complex legal arguments, making it arduous to pursue without professional guidance.

Without legal expertise, you risk undervaluing your claim, or worse, you are overlooking potential compensation for future lost income, emotional suffering, and other damages.

Not hiring an attorney in a wrongful death claim increases the likelihood of a less favorable outcome, leaving you with less than what you truly deserve.
