Wrongful Death

McLawhorn & Associates, P.A. understands that the most traumatic legal circumstance is the wrongful death of someone due to the negligence of another. The loss of a loved one leaves the family with a void that cannot easily be filled. However, the law does allow for spouses, children and parents to be compensated for both tangible and intangible losses they have suffered. This can mean the loss of love and affection and wages or other financial support that they would have received were the victim still alive. Taking this kind of legal action, while not equal to the continued relationship with a loved one, can bring some closure for the victim’s family and lay to rest any questions or concerns about the death.

In many wrongful death cases a victim’s family can be compensated for actual costs associated with the funeral and burial; loss of actual and anticipated wages; loss of benefits, such as pensions or medical insurance coverage; loss of companionship; pain and suffering of the survivors as a result of the loss; and in some particularly egregious cases, punitive damages against the negligent party. The attorneys at McLawhorn and Associates have skill and experience in wrongful death cases and can help aggrieved clients through this most difficult time with support and compassion.
