When you work with an attorney at the Moore Law Firm, you can expect an experienced lawyer who provides compassionate, caring, and strong legal guidance and support.

Types of Wrongful death Accidents

A wrongful death claim can be filed if you lost a loved one in an accident that was caused by negligence. Some of the most common types of accidents that can result in a wrongful death include:

A wrongful death attorney can investigate the accident to determine if you have a valid claim and take the appropriate steps to ensure the negligent parties are held liable for their careless, reckless actions.

Factors Considered in a Wrongful death claim

In a wrongful death lawsuit, the plaintiff must establish the defendant’s negligence, causation, and standard of proof. During this process, your attorney can help gather evidence and conduct depositions to support the case.

Filing a Wrongful death claim

In addition to negotiating with the insurance company, the attorney may also advise you on whether to accept a settlement offer or proceed to trial. If a fair settlement cannot be reached, your attorney will be prepared to take the case to court to fight for the compensation you deserve.

Types of Damages in a Wrongful death claim

Damages in a wrongful death claim may include economic and non-economic losses such as:

And other losses.
The wrongful death damages you may be entitled to will depend on the unique facts surrounding the accidental death.

Negotiating With Insurance companies

The value of a wrongful death case depends on various factors, including the decedent’s income, their medical and funeral expenses, and non-economic damages, such as loss of consortium and the pain and suffering of the surviving family members. Negotiating with the insurance company for a fair settlement can be a long and frustrating process. If you don’t have experience handling aggressive insurance adjusters, a wrongful death attorney can be invaluable during this time. At our law firm, our lawyers are familiar with the tactics and strategies that an insurance adjuster will use to minimize pay out or deny a claim. The insurance company’s goal is to settle the case for as little money as possible, because insurance companies are for-profit businesses.

Our attorneys will not accept a lowball settlement offer and will fight for the fair financial compensation you’re owed. If the insurance company refuses to negotiate further, our legal team will prepare your case for trial and present the evidence in front of a judge and jury. In most cases, once an insurance company knows we mean business, they will be more willing to negotiate.
