Phoenix Wrongful Death Lawyer

2. The suffering brought to the family of a fatal accident victim is immeasurable. Filing a wrongful death claim may seem pointless, because there’s no way it can give you what you want—your lost loved one back. However, there are some valid reasons for filing a fatal accident claim in Phoenix that you may not have thought about. • For starters, a fatal accident claim may be the only justice your loved one and your family can receive. Secondly, your claim could hold the person who caused your loved one’s death legally responsible. Thirdly, filing a claim could bring about important changes in laws, procedures, and safety practices that will make life safer for others. • Finally, your claim can mean monetary compensation for you and your family. Your loved one would not want you to struggle financially because of their death. For help getting started on a wrongful death claim, reach out to the Law Offices of Michael Cordova and speak to a Phoenix wrongful death lawyer.

3. Unfortunately, there are a great many ways people can die due to others’ careless or wrongful actions. • For instance, auto wrecks are common causes of premature death in Arizona. The saddest part is that most of these types of deaths can be prevented. If every driver on the road made an effort to drive responsibly, almost all vehicle accidents could be avoided. • Your Phoenix wrongful death attorney will investigate your loved one’s accident to find the cause. Once the cause has been found, your lawyer will then collect all evidence available to prove liability. You will then be able to pursue the liable party for compensation and justice for the death of your beloved family member.

4. Not every person who knows a fatal accident victim can file a wrongful death claim. For instance, if your roommate dies in an accident, you won’t be able to file a claim for their death, no matter how close the two of you were. Even though you were dependent upon your roommate’s income, you still won’t be permitted to file a claim. • In Arizona, only certain family members can file a claim for wrongful death. In most cases, these are the relatives who are allowed under the law to submit a fatal accident claim: • Spouse •  Parents •  Children •  Personal representative of the deceased person’s estate

5. There’s no question that the family of the fatal accident victim will suffer financial hardship. The costs of a funeral and burial can be a huge financial burden. Add to that any medical treatment expenses left behind, and you could suffer financial strain for years to come. When someone else caused your loved one’s death, shouldn’t they be held liable for these financial costs? • In addition, the family deserves justice for losing their loved one before it was their time to go. Money doesn’t make things even, but it can allow you to honor your loved one’s memory or their wishes. Work with a wrongful death attorney to receive the settlement you and your family need to get through this horrible experience.

6. You are given only two years in Arizona to submit a claim for wrongful death. You are surely overwhelmed by grief, and you may believe that filing a wrongful death claim would not be worth the effort; however, you don’t have to do the work of filing a claim by yourself. • Your lawyer can take over the work of proving your case and working to win your settlement. You can focus on your family during this difficult time.
