Wrongful Death Law Office in Casper, WY Helping Victims Seek Justice

If you’ve experienced the unexpected, devastating loss of a loved one in an accident that you believe may have been caused by another person’s negligence or wrongdoing, there’s a good chance you could take legal action against the guilty party. When you file a wrongful death claim against a negligent person or entity, the surviving family members can receive monetary compensation to help alleviate some of the pain and unforeseen expenses that come with wrongful death.

When a tragic event like this happens, it makes sense that hiring a lawyer may seem like an additional burden. That said, it’s important to speak with a Casper wrongful death lawyer as soon as possible to know your options for seeking compensation. An understanding wrongful death lawyer knows the loss of a loved one is devastating and will work closely with you to protect your interests. No amount of money can make up for your loss, but compensation can offset financial stress that could affect your future.

Call Platter River Injury Law’s Casper office today at 307-224-9378 to get the help you need.

Who Can Sue for Wrongful Death?

When someone dies, there are often many different people who have to experience this loss. On top of the general grieving and sadness, there could also be some pretty devastating economic consequences. While many people could be affected by the death, not everyone has the right to file a lawsuit against the at-fault party. The main people who have the right to sue are the surviving spouse, children, or the parents of the victim. Usually, it’s a close family member or an official representative of the victim who can file a lawsuit on behalf of the deceased individual’s estate. If you’ve lost someone to another person’s negligence or recklessness, you should work with a wrongful death law firm that can properly look out for you. These cases can be incredibly complex, especially if there are multiple close family members. Working with a wrongful death lawyer can ensure everything is filed correctly and on time.

How Much is My Wrongful Death Claim Worth?

Filing a wrongful death claim can provide both emotional and financial relief. There’s a sense of justice that comes with obtaining a settlement, on top of the pressure to pay basic expenses being lifted. Every wrongful death case is completely different, so it’s hard to know what yours will be worth. A wrongful death settlement often includes both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages include things like funeral expenses, medical expenses, and lost wages. Non-economic damages are harder to quantify but include things like pain and suffering, mental anguish, and punitive damages. While it’s impossible to blindly guess your claim’s worth, a trusted wrongful death law firm can analyze your case and give you an estimate of what your claim may be worth.

Should I Accept a Settlement Offer?

Following a wrongful death, you will likely have an insurance adjuster reach out to you. Do not say anything, and do not accept anything offered to you until you’ve spoken with a wrongful death attorney. One of the biggest decisions you will make following a wrongful death is whether you choose to accept the settlement you are offered or not. The truth is that insurance companies will do anything they can to avoid losing money. They will more than likely offer you a settlement far below your claim’s actual value in hopes you’ll accept, saving them money. Before you consider accepting an offer, sit down with a Casper wrongful death law firm that can dig into your case and let you know if the offer is fair or if you should fight to get the maximum compensation possible.

Is a Wrongful Death Lawyer Necessary?

A sympathetic wrongful death law office will understand what you’re going through as a family experiencing a tragic loss. Wrongful death attorneys handle these cases every day and will work tirelessly to ensure you get the compensation you and your family deserve. Platte River Injury Law has built a reputation for treating clients who have suffered devastating losses with care and compassion. We also work on a contingency fee basis, which means you don’t pay anything upfront, and we only get paid when you do. Call Platte River Injury Law today at 307-224-9378 to learn more about what your options are.
