Hastings and Hastings Lauds the Benefits of Using a Lawyer for a Wrongful Death Case
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) June 16, 2015 -- Hastings and Hastings urges citizens of Phoenix, AZ, to reach out to an attorney if a loved one has perished at the hands of a corporation, product, physician, medication, or auto accident. A wrongful death lawyer may be able to recover damages for medical expenses, lost wages, and the pain and suffering caused by the accident.
Wrongful death suits can be a complicated lengthy process involving several stages. Individuals have the option to represent themselves in court, however, an experienced attorney will be able to assist you in navigating the legal process to aide in recovering the compensation you deserve.
The first step in handling a wrongful death suit, involves meeting with a wrongful death lawyer for a consultation. Your attorney should be able to determine whether your case meets the statute of limitations; if your claims merit a wrongful death suit worth pursuing; and forecast the expected recovery amount from the damages caused by the wrongful death.
After the consultation, your attorney will then take over your case. They will collect evidence, build a convincing argument, and interview witnesses involved in your suit. Essentially, their job is to build up a strong case that could win in court.
“Wrongful death lawsuits are a unique area of personal injury. The death of a loved one can be heart wrenching, and a drain on finances. That is why whenever a wrongful death suit comes our way, we take care to ensure that families are compensated justly for their difficult times,” said Erwin Braich, attorney at Hastings and Hastings.
Reasons for pressing a wrongful death lawsuit are numerous. For instance, some common suits involve:
• Car Accidents
• Bike Accidents
• Pedestrian Accidents
• Nursing Home Neglect and Abuse
• Workplace Accidents
• Medical Malpractice
• Defective Products
A wrongful death suit may involve multiple defendants. For instance, a plaintiff may choose to sue both the driver of the vehicle responsible for their family member’s death, his employer, their insurance provider, the government agency that failed to properly warn drivers about a road hazard, perhaps even the person, and their employer, who overserved the impaired driver, thus leading to the accident.
It’s important to realize that when it comes to wrongful death suits, you don’t have to take on the difficult process alone. A qualified attorney will be your guardian during the difficult times, and help your recover the compensation you deserve.
