Handling Wrongful Death Cases
The loss of a loved one can be devastating for family members. The loss is only made more difficult by the number of critical decisions that must be made. Important things must be taken care of and issues must be resolved after a loved one dies. Having an attorney on your side — someone who can take the burden of those decisions from your shoulders, allowing you to focus on the grieving process — is critical.
At The Law Firm of O'Leary & Spero, in Staten Island, New York, we have more than 20 years of experience representing the surviving families of people killed in accidents of all kinds, including car and truck accidents, construction accidents and by medical malpractice. Our personal injury attorneys guide them through critical decisions that must be made after the loss of a loved one, especially the decision of whether to take legal action.
Should I Take Action After a Wrongful Death?
Deciding to take legal action can be difficult. This action, called a wrongful death action, holds a negligent person or business accountable for behaviors that caused your loved one's death.
While no amount of money can ever replace the loss of a loved one, wrongful death actions can give your family the resources to take care of unpaid medical bills and funeral expenses. They can also provide compensation for lost wages that would have supported your family, and may deter people from committing the same kind of future harm — protecting others from wrongful death in the future.
