Wrongful Death Representation

Professional and Compassionate Legal Help

When someone dies because of the negligence of another a cause of action is created for those damaged by the loss. The wrongful death claim is brought by the executor or administrator of the decedent’s estate who is appointed by the probate court to bring the claim on behalf of the spouse, children, parents or other next of kin that have suffered damages by reason of the wrongful death. Those damages include loss of support from the decedent, loss of services of the decedent, loss of society of the decedent, loss of prospective inheritance to the decedent’s heirs-at-law, and mental anguish incurred by the beneficiaries.

In wrongful death matters, it is important that measures be taken promptly to preserve evidence, investigate the incident that gave rise to the death, obtain the appointment of an executor or administrator by the probate court, and file a lawsuit prior to the deadline imposed by the statute of limitations. These are matters we can help you with. If a loved one has been a victim of wrongful death, call Falke & Dunphy, LLC now at (937) 222-3000.
