I.
What is a Wrongful Death?
Answer:
A wrongful death is a death that results from a wrongful act or from
negligence, carelessness or recklessness of another person or
company. In many cases, companies are responsible for the
wrongful actions of their employees.
II.
Who May Bring A Claim?
ANSWER: In most states, the decedent's immediate family members or surviving spouse, children, and sometimes parents may bring a claim and/or the personal representative of the deceased's estate. Every state has civil "wrongful death" statutes, which establish the procedures for bringing wrongful death lawsuits. Click here to submit your case for a free consultation and case evaluation.

ANSWER:
Most likely
Yes. When a loss occurs which may be the result of negligence,
a timely investigation may be the difference in discovering the true
causes. A wrongful death lawyer should be
consulted because:
·
Critical evidence can be destroyed or lost;
·
State laws governing wrongful death may eliminate the recovery if
legal criteria are not met. For example, some cities and
states need to be notified of the claim within a short time period
from the accident or incident.
·
Law not followed. For example, drug testing of truck drivers
after an accident as required by law to be completed may not.
·
Witnesses may be harder to identify or find and testimony lost.
Police reports may list a simple
telephone number for a witness who
may change telephone numbers and be difficult to reach later on.
Therefore, surviving family members should
consult with an attorney.
Do I Have A Wrongful Death Case?
ANSWER:
The primary issue is whether liability can be established and
negligence shown based upon the actions or inactions of other person
or company. The laws of each state are different, but essentially,
if someone has failed to meet the minimum standards in an industry
or has acted with disregard for the rights welfare and safety of
another, they are liable for their actions. If more than one company
contributed to the injury or death, all are potentially liable. At
The Cary Schulman Law Firm, to determine whether or not you have a
case, often time’s experts are called upon for their expertise in a
particular area. For example, if the deceased fell off of a platform
in a
warehouse, a
warehouse safety expert could be used to determine
whether or not the employer installed proper safety measures or
properly trained its employees and in a highway
accident involving a
truck, an accident reconstructionist may be used to determine who
switched lanes first and at what point in the road the vehicle first
struck. See some of our
recent cases.
You have a good case if we can establish negligence, causation, and
show that you were physically, financially, and/or emotionally
injured or harmed. Cary Schulman and his team of professionals and
highly experienced and aggressive staff
have the experience to
determine liability in tough cases and prove it to an insurance
adjuster or a jury if necessary.
Contacting a lawyer quickly is
critical to preserving evidence that supports
your case.
VI.
How Much Is My Case Worth?
ANSWER:
One cannot predict what a particular jury will do and how a
particular trial will go and there is no magic formula that can
calculate the damages you would receive.
Personal injury litigation
is not a science which can determine how much will be awarded for a
particular set of circumstances, but rather it is an art and good
experienced lawyers can quantify the range of value of a case using
the maximum potential of a
case and its likelihood of success.
Further, your claim is worth what your attorney can convince an
insurance company or jury to pay. Common sense plays a big role as
well as calculated economic loss.
Some factors used in determining
damages include actual economic
loss that is lost income and revenues as well as non-economic losses
as commonly referred to as pain & suffering, mental anguish and loss
of life.
VII.
What Damage May I Recover?
ANSWER: Depending
on your particular case and the types of
injuries and
damages
you or your loved one incurred, you may be entitled economic and
non-economic
damages. The term economic damages means
objectively verifiable monetary losses including medical
expenses, loss of earnings, burial costs, loss of use of
property, costs of repair or replacement, costs of obtaining
substitute domestic services, loss of employment and loss of
business or employment opportunities. The term
non-economic
damages means subjective non-monetary losses
including but not limited to pain, suffering, inconvenience,
mental suffering, emotional distress, loss of society and
companionship, loss of consortium, humiliation and
injury to
reputation.
The following is a more comprehensive list of types
of recoverable damages:
Medical treatment and bills, future medical treatment, burns,
pain and suffering, mental anguish, loss of consortium (loss of
love), wrongful death, loss of life, paralysis, loss of limb,
future medical treatment, surgeries, physical impairment,
