Nothing hurts more than losing a loved one killed due to negligence. A wrongful death lawsuit can’t bring the person you love back, but it can help you get compensation for your loss and ensure whoever was responsible can’t hurt anyone else. An action for wrongful death belongs to the victim’s immediate family members, such as the surviving spouse and children. A lawsuit for wrongful death may only be brought by the personal representative of the victim’s estate. Alabama has specific laws that establish the procedures for bringing wrongful death actions. The best way to find out if you have a valid claim is to consult an experienced wrongful death lawyer.
If you were injured in a car accident due to someone else’s negligence or recklessness, or if a loved one suffered a wrongful death in an auto crash, our Huntsville, AL car accident attorneys can help you recover financial compensation for your injuries, lost wages, medical expenses, pain and suffering, and property damage.
