What Happens Next?

You’re ready to talk with one of our wrongful death attorneys. Here’s what you can expect.

Our lawyers will talk with you about your case in a consultation that is absolutely free to you. We will advise you on the best next steps for you from there.

Your lawyer will collect and compile evidence that will help build your case.

Your attorney will handle negotiations for the settlement amount you deserve, while you focus on what really matters: being with your family in your time of need.

Although rare, if necessary, you may need to go to court with your attorney to settle your wrongful death claim.

Once a fair settlement amount is agreed upon by both parties, our office will receive your check on your behalf, and we will reach out to you immediately so you can get the funds you need.
