Wrongful Death

Did you lose a loved one in Calhoun, Etowah, Talladega, or Jefferson County due to someone else’s negligence or misconduct? If so, you may have the right to pursue a wrongful death claim to seek justice and compensation for your loss.

​

Wrongful death occurs when a person dies as a result of the negligent, reckless, or intentional actions of another party. Common causes of wrongful death include car or trucking accidents, medical malpractice, defective products, and workplace accidents. In Alabama, the law allows the deceased person’s estate or surviving family members to seek compensation for the financial and emotional hardships caused by the untimely death.

Losing a loved one is a devastating experience, and the burden of medical bills, funeral costs, and lost income can add to the emotional toll. While no amount of money can bring back your loved one, a wrongful death claim can help provide the financial relief your family needs and hold the responsible party accountable.
