Wrongful death can result from almost any medical malpractice issue. A medical malpractice wrongful death claim is made on behalf of the estate of the deceased and the recovery is for your loved one's pain and suffering, your family's loss of income and future earning capacity, and the loss of society and companionship. Handling these cases since 1978, we know how to demonstrate the loss to your family in court, regardless of whether or not your loved one had a will.
The size of your family's recovery depends on a variety of factors, including whether your loved one was married, had children, employment status, and the loss to the family members left behind.
