Types of Wrongful Death Cases Our Team Handles

Wrongful death is an unfortunate event that can happen in various situations. At Suzuki Law Offices, we have a tremendous amount of experience in helping clients with a range of cases that result in fatalities, including:

Car accidents
Truck accidents
Motorcycle accidents
Bus accidents
Pedestrian accidents
Bicycle accidents
Medical malpractice
Slip and fall

Losing a loved one to any one of these incidents can change your entire life. And with so much on your plate, including funeral costs and medical bills, dealing with complicated legal proceedings can feel like a lot. A Phoenix wrongful death lawyer can support you throughout your claim, while you concentrate on handling the emotional impact of the accident.

Who Is Liable for Wrongful Death in Phoenix?

According to Arizona Revised Statutes § 12-611, liability for wrongful death cases often lies with the person or company whose negligence, wrongful act, or default led to the death of your family member. As such, multiple parties could be held financially responsible.

Depending on the circumstances of the case, this could include negligent motorists, commercial trucking companies, delivery companies, and bus companies, healthcare providers, manufacturers, and more.

If the victim would have had cause to file a personal injury claim had they survived the accident, then an eligible family member may be able to sue for wrongful death against the responsible party, in the event of a fatality.

Potential Damages for Wrongful Death

Damages differ for every case, as it often depends on the situation and the financial losses you’ve suffered as a result of the wrongful death. However, you may be able to claim for the following:

Funeral and burial costs
Outstanding medical bills for the deceased
Loss of companionship
Loss of earning capacity or lost wages
Loss of financial support from the deceased
Emotional distress and grief

The value of your claim is estimated based on how much you have lost and your relationship to the victim. You need to be able to prove how your life has been affected by the wrongful death of your family member, which is something an attorney can help you with.

How a Phoenix Wrongful Death Lawyer Can Support Your Claim

You need an experienced lawyer to make sure you get exactly what you’re owed and that your case is handled effectively. Here’s more on how our legal team can help:

Gathering and Preserving Evidence

A wrongful death attorney will collect all the evidence needed to back up your claim. This includes medical records, police reports, coroner reports, witness statements, photographs, and any other proof that could help. We’ll also work quickly to preserve evidence that may be overwritten, such as surveillance footage.

Estimating Damages

Because there are so many potential damages for these types of cases, it can be hard to work out exactly what you should claim for. Our legal team will review everything and calculate how much you could be entitled to. That way, the value of your losses will be reflected as accurately as possible.

Negotiating on Your Behalf

We take care of all communications with insurance companies, using trusted negotiation tactics to make sure you get a fair settlement. Our lawyers will settle for nothing less than what you’re owed so that you don’t have to worry about unfair offers.

Fighting for Your Rights

Throughout the legal process, your rights are first and foremost. We’ll fight with integrity, providing excellence through passion and compassion, while presenting your case with confidence.

If you can’t reach a resolution at the negotiation stage, our lawyers will represent you in court and work hard to get the most acceptable outcome for your claim.
