Every wrongful death case is unique and imparts different obstacles - both financial and emotional - to the surviving family. While there is no single way to deal with the grief following the death of a loved one, there is also no single pattern to pursuing a legal claim for wrongful death. These cases can arise from numerous circumstances, such as a car accident, truck collision, or a pedestrian accident. The negligent wrongdoer can either be an individual, a corporation, or other type of business. The one constant is that they all will likely be represented by insurance companies and their lawyers.
The Maryland wrongful death lawyers and Virginia wrongful death attorneys at Portner & Shure are experienced in dealing with the issues outlined above. While we bring compassion to our clients who have lost loved ones, our wrongful death lawyers will fight for our clients to obtain reimbursement and compensation for:
Loss of services, protection, care, and assistance provided by the decedent
Loss of future income
Sorrow, mental anguish, and solace
Medical expenses incurred as a result of the negligence
Punitive damages when available
Monetary damages cannot bring back a family member, nor can they stop the grief that loved ones feel. A successful wrongful death claim, however, can provide the survivors some financial security going forward during an uncertain time.
There are many roadblocks to overcome in a wrongful death claim, and the value of a case may ultimately depend on the experience, knowledge and trial skills of the attorney. This assessment is true whether the case is settled with an insurance company out of court, or tried before a jury. The Maryland wrongful death lawyers and Virginia wrongful death attorneys at Portner & Shure are committed to fight for the rights of the surviving family members. We have done it successfully in the past and we will fight for you.
