Wrongful Death
Wrongful death claims always involve the tragic consequences and aftermath of an accident or occurrence, with devastating consequences.
Spouses and children of lost loved ones are frequently left with little or no financial support and have lost their loving life partner or parent. It takes a careful and thoughtful approach to these claims, by a competent lawyer or attorney, experienced in such claims. Allen, Flatt, Ballidis & Leslie has handled a number of wrongful death claims with outstanding results. We would like the opportunity to aid you or your loved ones as well.
Proof of the physical and emotional loss of love, support, companionship, and care, particularly to a spouse or young child who has lost their parent, requires a thoughtful approach. It is not enough to simply tell others of your loss and expect them to understand. The loss has to be demonstrated to a skeptical and often uncaring insurance adjuster or claims superintendent. They have to be educated on the true meaning of the lost ones life to those around him or her.
Our office will explore in detail the loss of love, care and companionship, by documenting and developing the written and oral life story of the lost one. Through the words and documents of those family, friends and co-workers left behind, our office will prove the quality of the person whose life was wasted, and the meaningfulness to the family left behind. Using the experience of our past cases, and sound judgment, the story of the person you lost will unfold to a legacy of their contribution to their family and their world.
Our office will also hire accounting and economic experts to calculate the real financial loss to the family, not just the loss of income from their job, but also the loss of retirement benefits and financial security, loss of medical coverage, lost educational access and support, and lost life and health insurance opportunities. There are a number of hidden financial losses usually overlooked by the inexperienced attorney, such as the cost of caring for the home, for the children and parents. One such case involved the husband who lost his wife tragically. She took care of his mother, who was living independently, almost daily visiting her mother-in law. When she passed on, the husband had to carry the load of caring for his family, working and caring for his mother. The economic loss was huge when someone had to be brought in to help. A prior attorney overlooked this factor. Fortunately it was not too late and we were successful in settlement of the claim in full.
For all your wrongful death claims, please consider Allen, Flatt, Ballidis and Leslie to be your attorneys and maximize your recovery as well as help you through your trying times. Please call us at 1-888-752-7474 or contact us online.
