Wrongful Death

“Learn to do good. Seek Justice. Help the oppressed.”
Isaiah 1:17

Whether your loved one has died wrongfully as the result of:

• negligence of a manufacturer whose product was defective,
• through the recklessness of a drunk driver who lost control in a car wreck, or
• from callous disregard of a trucking company for proper maintenance leading to a truck accident,
• you are now forced to face a new period in your life, without your loved one.

The idea of a wrongful death lawsuit can seem overwhelming at this difficult time.

While the courts can never fully compensate you for your loss, the courts can begin to redress the injustice of the situation, and a financial settlement can give you and your family time to recover and find your feet again.

At the personal injury law firm of Bley Law Firm, P.C., our dedicated and compassionate wrongful death lawyers help clients work through the most painful circumstances and come out of the experience with the resources and resolve they need to move forward with their lives.

A person is worth more than his or her income potential. A homemaker lost to a car accident made an invaluable contribution to the well-being of her family and her community. A child lost to medical negligence during childbirth represented the irreplaceable hopes and dreams of its parents, who may fall into serious depression.

An experienced wrongful death lawyer will be prepared to present a jury with both the facts of the negligent actions leading to the tragic death, but also with a full picture of the serious injury done to those left behind.

Money for lost income, medical costs, funeral expenses, loss of companionship, loss of guidance, instruction, and counsel may all be considered when demonstrating how you and your family has been injured by a wrongful death.
