Insurance companies often try to quickly settle wrongful death claims. These settlement offers tend to have little relation to the needs of the surviving family or the value of their case. They are merely an effort to minimize the insurance company’s financial exposure at your family’s expense. The Law Offices of Paul F. Sherman highly recommend that you do not sign anything before talking to an experienced wrongful death attorney.
If a close family member is killed as a result of a negligent accident or the wrongful conduct of another, then his or her family would have rights under wrongful death laws to hold the negligent party responsible and to recover damages. Wrongful death can occur as a result of a variety of circumstances, including auto, truck, or motorcycle accidents, head injuries, nursing home negligence, medical malpractice, or on the job/construction site accidents. Wrongful death victims and their families are usually merely going about the ordinary business of their lives when tragedy strikes. One young man was killed by riding in the passenger seat. The cause, a drunk driver. A bike rider was killed while riding to work in the bike lane due to the negligent act of a careless driver. A construction worker was crushed to death while working on the job site.
