When a loved one dies due to another's negligence, no monetary compensation can truly make up for the void left, and for the grief and pain of transition the surviving family must face. That said, the law provides for accountability in the form of a civil legal action called wrongful death, designed to recognize the value of the victim's life and compensate the family for loss.
At Steve German, A Law Firm, we know that maximizing compensation for wrongful death accidents can be extremely complex. Our lawyers bring experience, compassion and comprehensive knowledge to the table in serving clients in these cases. Give us a call at 480-607-9166 to arrange a free consultation about your specific situation.
Phoenix-Area Attorneys Experienced In Fatal Accident Cases
We always handle wrongful death cases with the utmost compassion. Because we have worked on so many of these cases, we deeply understand the difficulties families are faced with.
Our attorneys are prepared to tackle the full range of issues that can arise, including:
- Eligibility to bring a claim — Not every close relationship qualifies for eligibility to bring a wrongful death action after a fatal accident. Our attorneys can explain to you what your legal options are.
- Amount of compensation — Putting a value on human life is in some sense an impossible task. We can guide you forward in measuring damages and making a practical claim for compensation.
- Death of a parent or child — When a parent or child dies, more than one party may have a claim. But because Arizona law only allows one cause of action, it may be necessary to consolidate your claim with that of another family member.
- Fatal medical negligence — Adverse events in hospitals that claim patients' lives happen far too often. We can help you pursue compensation after a fatal medical mistake.
