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

death cases and can help

difficult time with
