Columbia, Missouri Wrongful Death Lawyer

Missouri Fatal Accident Attorney

Losing a loved one unexpectedly is an incredibly painful and overwhelming experience. When your loved one is killed in an accident that was caused due to the negligence of another person, it only compounds the tragedy. While your thoughts may not turn immediately to the legal implications of your loved one's death, it is important that you seek a lawyer's advice to ensure that your family's interests are protected.

At the Bley & Evans, LC, we represent clients throughout Missouri in a variety of wrongful death cases, including defective products, fatal car crashes, medical malpractice and many others. Our Columbia, Missouri, wrongful death attorney provides the compassionate care you need and the diligent legal representation necessary to hold all negligent parties accountable for your loss.

Helping Families Move Forward After a Tragic Loss

In a wrongful death case, the law recognizes that the family has suffered more than the emotional impact of an accidental death. Your loved one made substantial contributions to the household that are no longer available now that he or she has passed away. Whether financially, via employment, or through maintaining the house or caring for the children as a stay-at-home parent, you are able to seek compensation for the full extent of your loss.

Among the damages surviving family members may be entitled to seek are:

  • Medical and funeral expenses
  • Loss of the earnings your loved one would have provided
  • Loss of companionship, guidance, instruction and counsel
  • Loss of household services provided by your loved one
  • Pain and suffering
