Representation After a Loved One's Wrongful Death
Clearly we know that at some point in life we will lose a loved one. Death is, after all, inevitable. When that death comes suddenly and as the result of another person's negligent or reckless behavior, however, it can be difficult to move on. Oftentimes the only way to find closure is to hold the at-fault party responsible for the damage they caused.
At my firm — Tucker Law Office — I help my clients do just that. I represent clients throughout the Des Moines area and the surrounding Iowa communities in wrongful death matters. While I know there is no amount of money that can erase your suffering or bring back a loved one, the money may help cover funeral expenses and end-of-life medical expenses. Contact me online or call 888-514-0254 to schedule your initial consultation with an experienced lawyer.
Accidents Leading to Death
Wrongful death claims are more complex, more difficult to prove and more limited than personal injury claims. For example, in a personal injury case, the victim may be awarded compensation for pain and suffering, but that can be difficult to prove in a wrongful death case; the deceased is not there to testify to their suffering. Even though they are more difficult, it is not impossible to successfully bring wrongful death claims. I represent clients who lost a loved one due to:
- Defective products
- Fatal car accidents
- Farm machinery
- Toxic exposure
- Heart attacks caused by poor supervision or emergency room misdiagnosis
There is often a great deal of court scrutiny in wrongful death cases, and there are numerous details that must be addressed in addition to the actual lawsuit. I help clients distribute estate assets, administer estate funds and pay any expenses. Schedule your initial consultation with an attorney by contacting me online or by calling 888-514-0254.
