Losing a loved one due to someone else’s negligence is a devastating experience. The emotional and financial toll can be overwhelming, leaving families searching for answers and justice.

The Importance Of Legal Representation
It can be common to want to push this behind you and move on, but a wrongful death claim can provide you with the resources you need for a stable and secure future. Our knowledgeable lawyers will handle as much of the work in your claim as possible, including measures like conducting a thorough investigation and gathering essential evidence such as medical records, witness statements and expert testimony to build a strong case.
We understand that no amount of money can replace your loved one, but securing financial compensation can help cover medical bills, funeral expenses, lost income and other related costs. These claims are not just about financial compensation; they are also about holding the liable party accountable and making it clear that the actions that caused your loss are unacceptable. We will be here for you through every step of your claim to help you seek the outcome you deserve.
Determining Liability In A Wrongful Death Case
In wrongful death cases, identifying who may be liable is crucial. In many cases, the liable party for your loved one’s passing was the individual or entity whose negligent or intentional actions led to the death. In incidents like motor vehicle accidents, it can be easier to determine who is liable for your loss, but in other situations like medical malpractice, workplace accidents or defective product injuries, the actual liable party might not have even been present during the incident.
We can review the details of your claim to determine who is liable for the wrongful death, such as an employer who pushed a truck driver to work extended hours or a parts manufacturer who created something that directly caused the death. Our experienced attorneys at Cornejo & Cornejo, LLP, meticulously investigate the circumstances surrounding your loved one’s death to identify all liable parties, ensuring they are held accountable for their actions.
Compensation Available For Wrongful Death Claims
A wrongful death claim is not about making money after losing a loved one. To our lawyers, these claims are about holding liable parties accountable for their actions that led to a death. In most cases, financial penalties are the best way to make a liable party understand the extent of their actions while also providing you with the compensation necessary to move forward after your loss. As your wrongful death lawyers, our goal is to secure every cent you deserve for your loss.
Compensation in wrongful death claims aims to address both economic and non-economic losses suffered by the family. Economic compensation may cover medical bills incurred before the death, funeral and burial expenses, and loss of future income and benefits that the deceased would have provided. Non-economic compensation addresses the emotional impact, including loss of companionship, love and guidance.
In some cases, punitive damages may also be awarded to punish the wrongdoer and deter similar conduct in the future. While these situations are rare, we can review the details of your case to determine what your compensation should include and fight to provide you with that amount.
