Nothing can prepare you for losing a loved one, nor can you be fully prepared to shoulder the emotional and economic burden of the sudden wrongful death of a family member.<\/p>\n
The wrongful death attorneys at Injury Smart Law understand the emotional and day-to-day challenges families face in the wake of such losses. Our firm has represented families in wrongful death lawsuits for several years. We can help you hold those responsible for the loss of your loved one accountable for their actions and win the financial compensation you need.<\/p>\n
You may be under intense financial pressure. Most people are not\u00a0 prepared for the unexpected passing of a loved one. If you relied on that person\u2019s income, bills that were once easily affordable may suddenly become unpayable. And then there are immediate, additional costs, such as funeral arrangements, and replacing a lost car or other property.<\/p>\n
Despite these challenges, you can afford to work with us. Injury Smart Law attorneys work on a contingency fee basis. This means that we offer a free consultation to every prospective client,\u00a0 and we are paid out of any financial compensation we help you win.<\/p>\n
We accept cases based on just the facts. When you walk through our doors, we will evaluate the particulars of your case, and review any information or documentation you have. If, after this free review, we determine that you might have a case, we will lay out your options, allowing you to make the best most informed decision possible.<\/p>\n
Once you have decided to retain our services, Injury Smart Law will gather as much information as possible about your case. We have experience in tracking down police reports, corporate accident reports, eyewitness accounts, and other types of records which can prove critical in making a case. We also work with independent experts to corroborate claims made by witnesses, and to challenge counterclaims made by defendants.<\/p>\n
The statute of limitations is not the only reason why you should not delay in filing a claim. For example, if the wrongful death was the result of a car accident, evidence of the accident could be lost or hidden away. A pothole in a poorly maintained roadway may be repaired. Your memories, and those of witnesses, can fade over time. An insurance company may lose records related to the accident, which could affect your claim. And the longer you wait to file a claim, the more time any liable parties will have to try and conceal evidence of their involvement.<\/p>\n
If you are uncertain about filing a wrongful death claim or are seeking legal consultation before proceeding with a claim, we can help. Injury Smart law is ready to help you bring this difficult chapter in your life to a close, so you can move forward into a brighter, more secure future.<\/p>\n
