Depending on the severity of an accident, the resulting injuries can be catastrophic or even fatal. If you have lost a loved one in an accident caused by the negligence of another driver or corporation, a wrongful death lawsuit can help provide future financial stability.
In Virginia laws, there is very specific language that identifies the beneficiaries and the types of recoveries that are available. An experienced wrongful death lawyer from Marquis Law Group can explain the details of this type of complex case. We understand the frustration and worry that follows the loss of a loved one. It is our goal to remove any further burden on you.
Wrongful death cases differ from other personal injury cases for several reasons. First and foremost, families and friends have lost a loved one and they are hurting, searching for answers, and may be uncertain of their legal rights. Second, Virginia wrongful death law is governed by specific, complex statutes that place the burden on that same family to prove their loss was caused by the wrongdoing of another.
Our attorneys can thoroughly examine your situation and provide honest answers and clear direction regarding your legal rights. Wrongful death cases arise from both situations centered on negligence and also intentionally tortious conduct, and our firm stands ready to help you.
In wrongful death cases, as in other torts in Virginia, there is a statute of limitations. If a suit is not filed within a certain period of time, you are forever barred from recovery.
Thus, it is important to contact an experienced, compassionate wrongful death attorney if you feel that the death of a family member or loved one was the fault of another. We offer free consultations and only accept payment when the case results in a positive outcome.
