Hausmann McNally

The untimely death of a loved one is one ofthe most traumatic events anyone can experience. We want, at the start, to express our sincere sympathy for your loss. As attorneys who have worked with clients at a time of grief and loss, we know that this is a time of confusion, anger and great stress for families.

Your loss is compounded by the fact that something went wrong—someone or some organization was so irresponsible that it caused or contributed to this untimely death.

Through their wrongful death laws, states have procedures to compensate survivors if the death was due to the negligence, wrongful act or neglect of another person or business. Although there is never adequate compensation for the loss of a loved one, the law provides for monetary retribution and compensation. The law—in this way— seeks to make things right by ordering the at-fault party or parties to pay for your losses. Making things right includes ordering the at-fault party and/or their insurance company to compensate the survivors for their economic and non-economic losses. In certain aggravated situations, it can also order damages beyond economic damages to be paid as a deterrent, as a way of preventing this from happening to others. These are called punitive damages. Our firm’s lawyers—with over 200 years of combined legal experience—are knowledgeable and skilled in representing surviving families in wrongful death suits.
