Accident & Injury Law

Wrongful Death

When a loved one is killed by the negligence of another person, their spouses, children, step-children and adopted children may bring a lawsuit for wrongful death. In many instances, a lawsuit may be brought by the parents or siblings of the decedent. Any time an individual is killed due to the negligence of others, the effect on those that he or she leaves behind can be devastating. This applies not only in terms of lost wages that person may have brought in for their family, but also the loss of love and enjoyment that this family will never have again. It is a terrible thing for a child to grow up without a mother or father, or for a parent to grow old without their child.

Although it is not easy to calculate the exact losses that the remaining family will suffer financially, it is possible if given the right expert and a dedicated and serious lawyer (such as those employed by Cantor Simon). However, it is even more difficult to calculate the emotional loss of the surviving family. Sometime punitive damages can be obtained from corporations who are responsible for a death. For example, Firestone Tires was sued for millions of dollars due to the fact that for years they chose to turn a blind eye to the thousands of injury reports which they received regarding their tires sold to the Ford Motor Company.
