The death of a loved one is always traumatic and emotionally difficult, especially when the death comes suddenly or without warning. Families of wrongful death victims are often burdened with not only the heartache of losing their loved one, but also the unexpected costs of a funeral, burial, and the financial hardship of losing an income. If your family member died as a result of another party's negligence or inappropriate actions, the wrongful death attorneys at the San Diego law firm of Phillips & Pelly may be able to help.
There are two main factors that define a wrongful death. First, our attorneys must show that the victim died as an immediate result of the defendant's actions. Causing wrongful death does not always require direct action; negligence or failing to act appropriately may also be considered in a case.
The second requirement for a successful wrongful death case is that the attorneys must prove that the death could have been avoided if the person responsible had acted differently. Though these requirements can be difficult to achieve, our wrongful death attorneys are experienced at retrieving information from San Diego-area doctors, witnesses, and other people who may have important information about the circumstances of your loved one's passing.
Our wrongful death attorneys have successfully represented San Diego families in a wide range of cases including:
No matter what the cause of your family member's death, you deserve thorough and competent representation that takes care of the legal details so you and your family can cope during this difficult time. Damages obtained from the negligent party in a wrongful death lawsuit may include compensation for lost wages, loss of support and companionship, medical bills, and mental anguish.
If someone else's negligent actions caused the death of your loved one, contact our wrongful death attorneys in San Diego. At Phillips & Pelly, our caring lawyers can remove some of the burden from your shoulders.
