What Is Wrongful Death?

When someone you love loses their life because of the negligence of another person, you can file a wrongful death lawsuit seeking damages to cover your losses. This civil action can be brought by family members, such as parents, children, and spouses.

Additionally, you can file a civil action against the negligent party whether they are facing criminal charges or not. In fact, both the criminal trial and civil trial can run at the same time. However, the burden of proof in civil actions is much lower for a court to find the negligent party liable for wrongful death. For more information, contact our Cecil County personal injury lawyer.

We Can Help You Recover Damages for Your Wrongful Death Case

A Cecil County, MD, fatal car accident attorney from our firm primarily handles wrongful death and personal injury cases, so you can trust that we are able to help you recover the compensation you and your family deserve.

A fatal accident that takes the life of your loved one robs you of a vital source of income that will be difficult, if not impossible, to replace.

Plus, your children will now have to grow up without a mother or father, and you lose the everyday companionship that made your family whole.

It’s a tragic loss that also brings about pain and suffering, compensation for which you are also entitled to receive.

Our Fatal Car Accident Lawyers in Cecil County, MD, Provide Client-Focused Legal Care

We believe everyone should have access to personalized legal care, and that’s the kind of services we offer each of our clients. Having a personal injury attorney on your side benefits your case in several ways:

We Treat You Like Family

First and foremost, we will treat you like family as soon as you walk through our doors. We understand you are going through the worst time of your life, so we offer you our support, and we can recommend medical providers that our own staff and families would go see.

We also provide you with the means to reach us quickly. Our clients all receive a special text number to contact their attorney. You can ask us questions at any time, and we will provide you with constant updates.

Investigate the Accident

Investigating the accident helps us determine liability. We want to hold the right person accountable for the death of your loved one. We will establish: 

• Duty of care: The legal responsibility of the at-fault party in your loved one’s death. 
• Breach of duty: The decision to deviate from their legal responsibility. 
• Causation: The accident and loss of life the at-fault party caused.
• Damages: Your family’s hardships caused by the loss of your loved one.

To prove those four elements requires evidence. We will collect the evidence in your loved one’s case. That means we will obtain the following:

• Police reports
• Witness accounts
• Video footage
• Accident scene photographs
• Medical records

We will also speak with expert witnesses in your case. Their opinions can provide validity and clarity to your losses. Our Cecil County fatal car accident lawyers goal is to get justice for you and your family.

Calculate the Value of Your Claim

We will calculate the value of your claim, including any economic and non-economic damages you qualify to receive, to make sure you get the fair compensation you deserve. This stage also allows us to evaluate the fairness of any settlement offers the insurance company presents you since initial offers can be low and may not adequately cover your losses.

Don’t let tragedy and desperation lead you to accept a low settlement offer. You can fight back, and we can help.

Negotiate With the Insurance Company

Negotiating with the insurance company yourself can be a hassle, and you may feel like you’re getting the runaround. We will negotiate for a fair settlement with the insurance company on your behalf, so you don’t have to. We know the ins and outs of the system, and we know the law.

Represent You in Court

We prepare every case for court if necessary. Should your case go to trial, we will represent you in court and present your case for compensation.

Our Fatal Car Accident Lawyer in Cecil County, MD, Works on a Contingency Fee Basis

If you have concerns about the cost of our legal services, you should know that we work on a contingency fee basis, so you don’t pay us until after we win your case and you receive compensation.

Don’t Lose Your Right to File a Wrongful Death Lawsuit

You should take some time to consider your options after a traumatic accident but don’t wait too long. Maryland law sets a 3-year time limit on filing a civil action in a wrongful death case, according to Md. Cts. & Jud. Proc. Code § 3-904. That means you will lose your right to file a lawsuit once the deadline passes.

Our firm pays attention to deadlines, and we will work to meet the statute of limitations in your case so you retain your rights.
