Understanding Personal Injury and Wrongful Death
When a person becomes injured due to the negligence of another, they can hold the negligent party accountable. Our personal injury attorneys help clients secure compensation for:
- Medical malpractice
- Nursing home abuse
- Car accidents
- Motorcycle accidents
- Pedestrian accidents
- Bicycle accidents
- Construction accidents
- Defective products
When a person succumbs to the injuries they've sustained in an accident, their personal representative can file a wrongful death claim on their behalf.
A Wrongful Death Lawsuit Can Help Make Things Right
Secure Compensation
In the aftermath of a loved one's death, you may be grappling with expenses like medical bills, funeral costs, and more. Your wrongful death lawsuit can help alleviate the financial burden you're likely feeling.
Seek Justice
Our Oklahoma City wrongful death lawyers can help identify all of the parties responsible for your loved one's passing so you can achieve justice. Punitive damages may also be ordered to discourage similar actions from occurring in the future.
Prevent Future Deaths
By holding negligent parties accountable, you can shed light on dangerous situations, like poor road conditions, hazardous workplaces, and defective products. This can spur action to correct these oversights and help prevent future wrongful deaths and losses for other families.
Don't Settle With the Insurance Company
Let Us Handle Your Wrongful Death Lawsuit From the Start
Insurance companies often try to avoid paying surviving family members the money they deserve for their loved one's wrongful death. Never accept a settlement from insurance companies until speaking with a lawyer first. Our lawyers will fight for every cent you deserve.
Our team of lawyers can handle your wrongful death case from start to finish, so you and your family can focus on grieving the loss of your loved one and still receive just compensation.
We can handle all communication with the insurance company to make sure they don't take advantage of you or trick you into giving incriminating statements so they don't have to pay your settlement.
Who Can File a
Wrongful Death Claim?
While many states allow the deceased person's family members to file a wrongful death lawsuit on their behalf, Oklahoma is a little different. Here, a personal representative of the deceased person's estate must file the wrongful death claim.
The personal representative is often named in the deceased person's will. If no personal representative is named in the will or the named person doesn't want to act as the personal representative, the court will appoint one, often the deceased person's spouse or child. This person represents the fatal accident victim and their beneficiary family members, such as their spouse, parents, and children.
