Wrongful Death and the Law
Wrongful death is the legal term for a fatal accident caused directly or indirectly by someone's negligence or intentional acts. A wrongful death case can arise from any type of accident, including:
- Auto accidents, including drunk driver accidents
- Truck accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Boating accidents
- Aviation accidents
- Construction accidents
- Dangerous or defective machines
- Medical malpractice
Wrongful death litigation is invariably high stakes, involving large amounts of money and strong emotions. Such cases should not be left to anyone but the most experienced and skilled lawyers. We are proud, at Kolker & Germeroth, L.L.C., to have two accomplished trial lawyers who are well known for their successes in large-scale cases. We do not hesitate to take a case all the way to trial to win wrongful death damages for our clients.
Of course, wrongful death claims are about more than getting monetary compensation. Families often feel some measure of relief to see the people responsible for their loved one's death made responsible for their actions. And such cases often encourage other organizations to increase safety standards, lest they also become liable.
