How Can a Wrongful Death Attorney Help?
As mentioned above, the period following the death of a loved one is a time when most family members are ill equipped mentally and emotionally to deal with the demands of daily responsibilities let alone the monumental challenges that the recent death poses. Your attorney will take the burden of these extra challenges off your shoulders and help protect you from the devastating financial consequences of your loss.
Your attorney will undertake a great deal of work preparing and pursuing your loved one’s wrongful death case. For example, the death may be related to something directly connected to the offending party’s liability insurance but can also extend to the other party’s assets as well. Your attorney will have to examine every nuance and aspect of the situation to find every avenue of getting maximum compensation. In some cases an estate or probate will need to be setup. When multiple family members are affected, your attorney will have to show how dependents will be affected as well.
The defending party in a wrongful death case will usually use tactics to attempt to deny responsibility or may try to get the case thrown out. You’ll need a lawyer with serious experience to fight the techniques defense will bring to the case. In addition to his wrongful death experienced, Ward Maedgen served as an assistant District Attorney in Texas and has hard earned trial experience that you’ll want in your corner during this tough time.
