Holding Wrongdoers Liable in the Tragic Event of Wrongful Death
If you lost a loved one to the negligence or misconduct of another, the pain can be great, as can the funeral and burial expenses and the loss of future income or support your family member would have provided. We can help you recover compensation for these losses and expenses through an action for wrongful death brought against the responsible party. In appropriate cases, when the death was the result of gross negligence or a willful act, we will pursue punitive damages as well, to punish the defendant and serve as an example to others. No amount of money may make up for your loss, but being forced to shoulder the financial burden instead of holding the other party accountable is simply unjust.
Kentucky law is very specific about which family members may recover compensation in a wrongful death action, and how the proceeds of a recovery are paid out to the surviving spouse, children, parents and the estate of the deceased. Let us sit down with you during this difficult time and explain how we can help you obtain a recovery to meet your current expenses and future needs.
Resolving Good Faith Coverage and Bad Faith Insurance Disputes
