Personal Injury Resulting in Wrongful Death
Caring Virginia Personal Injury Attorneys
Compassion, understanding, and legal competence and skill are some of the attributes that a wrongful death lawyer should possess. At the Roanoke, VA law firm of Altizer & Altizer, we stand with the family of a person who has suffered a wrongful death, and together we fight for that loved one who no longer has a voice and who no longer can help himself or herself.
Wrongful death is founded in state law and exists when the death of a person is caused by the wrongful act, neglect, or default of another person. A wrongful death can occur in the context of the following types of personal injury areas of the law:
- Medical Malpractice
- Auto Wrecks
- Tractor-Trailer Wrecks
- Nursing Home Abuse
- Premises Liability
- Products Liability
In a wrongful death action, the beneficiaries of the deceased person are entitled to recover:
- Sorrow, mental anguish, and solace, including companionship, comfort, and guidance;
- Expenses for the care, treatment, and hospitalization of the decedent incident to the wrongful death;
- Lost wages and loss of services provided by decedent;
- Reasonable funeral expenses; and
- Punitive damages may be recovered for willful or wanton conduct
Let the Altizer & Altizer family represent your family with the care, compassion, and consideration during this time of doubt and uncertainly. Let our law firm be the voice for your loved one.
