Everyone grieves differently after the loss of a beloved family member. No one should try to dictate how you come to terms with your emotional distress and suffering. We can, however, offer some guidance about steps you might want to take to protect your legal rights and the monetary value of your wrongful death claim.
Connect with one of our wrongful death attorneys as soon as possible. Evidence can deteriorate or even disappear within a matter of days after a fatal accident. You might know who was guilty of causing the death of your loved one, but without evidence, you might not be able to prove it. A lawyer from our firm will collect all the necessary evidence.
Do not make a statement in any public setting about the event that led to the death of your close family member. People rarely know all the facts immediately. Your words could get used against you even if you were merely passing on information you received from others.
Take care of yourself and your family. When you have our wrongful death lawyer handling your legal matters, you can focus on what really matters and let us fight your battles for you.
Avoid confrontations or any other interaction with the likely defendant or their circle of family, friends, or coworkers.
Depending on your circumstances, there might be other steps you need to take as well.
