Attorney Assisting Families With Wrongful Death Claims in Glen Burnie, MD

Personal Injury Car Accidents Truck Accidents Motorcycle Accidents

Losing a family member may be one of the most difficult experiences a person can face. When a person dies of an illness, old age, or natural causes, the situation can be difficult enough. However, the pain experienced by family members can be even more overwhelming when a person's death was caused by someone else's carelessness. In these situations, a family may not only experience grief, sorrow, and emotional trauma, but they may struggle with financial difficulties.

Whether a loved one has been killed in a car accident, a truck crash, because of unsafe conditions on someone's property, or in another situation involving negligence, family members will need to understand their legal options for addressing the person's wrongful death. While financial compensation obtained through a wrongful death claim can never make up for the loss of a loved one, a family can take steps to ease their financial burdens while also achieving some form of justice.

At Whitlock Law, our attorney has the skills and experience needed to provide families with effective representation in wrongful death claims. We can make sure the causes of a person's death are fully understood so that the person or parties who were responsible can be held liable for their negligence. We will take steps to address all of the damages that a family has suffered and fight for compensation that will help them move forward as they deal with their tragic loss.

Parties Who May Be Held Responsible for Wrongful Deaths

There are a variety of situations where people may be killed because of the negligence of others. Depending on the situation, more than one party may share responsibility for a person's death. Wrongful death claims may address negligence by parties such as:

  • A negligent driver may be held responsible for reckless behavior like speeding, distracted driving, or driving under the influence that has led to a fatal car accident. Citations for violations of traffic laws, footage from traffic cameras, statements from witnesses, or other forms of evidence may be used to prove that a negligent driver was at fault for a wrongful death.
  • A government agency may be responsible for a death that happened in a traffic accident caused by a poorly maintained road, a missing traffic sign, a malfunctioning traffic signal, or other hazardous conditions that should have been corrected.
  • A trucking company may be held liable when a fatal truck accident has been caused by the failure to properly train drivers, enforce trucking regulations, or make sure a commercial truck was maintained correctly. In some cases, other parties may also share liability for truck accidents, such as maintenance providers who did not perform repairs correctly or cargo loaders who failed to secure items on a truck.
  • A property owner may be held responsible when a death has been caused by a hazardous condition on their premises. Tripping hazards, inadequate security, or a failure to perform repairs may be addressed in premises liability claims. A property owner may be held liable for their failure to maintain safe conditions or warn visitors about hazards that could lead to injuries.

Legal Help for Families in Wrongful Death Cases

Dealing with the issues involved in a wrongful death claim may seem impossible while a family is grieving their loss. Our lawyer can make sure the legal procedures involved in a case will be handled correctly, allowing a family to focus on their own needs as they recover from the death of a loved one.

Gathering Evidence of Fault for a Wrongful Death

To build a strong wrongful death claim, evidence will be needed to show that another party's negligence caused a person's death. Our attorney can gather police reports, medical records, and witness statements while working with accident reconstruction experts to determine exactly what happened.

We can obtain electronic records from the vehicles involved in motor vehicle accidents and take steps to demonstrate that a driver was negligent. We can also review maintenance records for trucks or properties to identify safety issues that should have been addressed. By establishing a clear connection between the responsible party's conduct and a person's death, we can make sure they will be held liable in a wrongful death claim.

Documenting the Full Impact of a Wrongful Death on a Family

A wrongful death claim will need to account for the many ways a family has been affected by the loss of a loved one. Our lawyer will take steps to document the financial and personal impact that a wrongful death has had on a family. A wrongful death claim may address damages such as:

  • Loss of Financial Support: The loss of the income that a person would have earned and used to meet their family's needs can be significant. The impact on a family can add up to hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars over a person's expected career. Our attorney can help a family obtain compensation for these losses, including benefits like health insurance that a person would have provided.
  • Loss of Household Services: When a person provided services like childcare, household maintenance, and other contributions to a family, this loss can be addressed through financial compensation.
  • Funeral and Burial Expenses: The costs associated with laying a loved one to rest can cause difficulties for a family at the worst possible time. Our lawyer will work to ensure that these costs will be covered in a wrongful death claim.
  • Loss of Companionship and Guidance: A wrongful death can prevent family members from having a relationship with their loved one and receiving care and guidance over many years. These losses can be addressed in the compensation a family receives.
  • Emotional Pain and Suffering: The grief and mental anguish that family members have experienced and the ongoing emotional issues that may continue to affect them may also be addressed through compensation.

Our considerable experience and focus on personal injury law can give you a significant advantage, because we will use our knowledge and skills to protect your best interests. If insurers do not offer full compensation through settlement negotiations, Attorney Whitlock is a force to be reckoned with in the courtroom.
