Helping Families Recover
When an accident has led to the death of a loved one, your world has been shattered. Nothing can bring that person back to you, but if someone else is responsible, you may be legally entitled to compensation to soften the often difficult financial situation of a family that has been devastated.
At Clark & Allen, PC, our lawyers bring actions under wrongful death laws of Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C. to help the families of people who have been killed in accidents. Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation at one of our offices in Loudoun and Fairfax counties, Virginia.
Seeking the Compensation You Legally Deserve
If you have lost a loved one due to the negligent or reckless actions of another person or organization, we can assess your case to determine whether you have a right to seek compensation. Wrongful death circumstances include but are not limited to:
- Car, truck, boat, and motorcycle accidents, or other motor vehicle accidents, including those involving pedestrians
- Defective products, including pharmaceuticals
- Medical malpractice by doctors, hospitals, nursing homes and home care providers
Among the damages which may be available, depending on the specific state laws and the details of your case, are: lost financial support from the deceased, funeral expenses, medical expenses related to the cause of death, loss of companionship, grief, pain and suffering. Punitive damages — meant to deter particularly egregious conduct — may also be available.
Contact us to learn more about wrongful death law and how you may be able to get compensation to help you as you recover from your loss.
Understanding Wrongful Death LawTraditionally, the family of someone killed in an accident could not sue for compensation from the responsible party. State governments — including those of Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C., have closed this legal loophole by enacting wrongful death statutes. Although wrongful death law is similar in some ways to personal injury law, there are some important differences that, in turn, differ from state to state. Our attorneys have a sophisticated understanding of these subtle differences. |
