Wrongful Death

The sudden and tragic loss of a loved one due to the negligent or intentional actions of another is devastating. Understanding what happened, dealing with insurance companies, medical providers, and law enforcement, and paying the bills can all seem overwhelming for the survivors, particularly as they grieve the loss of their loved one. Our attorneys successfully pursue complex wrongful death cases arising from automobile accidents, professional and medical negligence, products liability, and others. We know and understand the complex process of investigating and presenting such claims, first to insurance companies and their attorneys, and then to a jury if we are not able to reach a resolution which is satisfactory to you.

Ethridge Quinn is here to help our clients through this difficult time, answer their questions and explain their legal rights in each unique circumstance. The surviving family members have rights to recover for their pain and suffering associated with losing a loved one, loss of companionship and financial support, medical bills, property damage, and funeral expenses. We will pursue a survival action for the pain and suffering, and wage loss of your loved one prior to their passing on behalf of their Estate. These are separate and distinct claims, with separate and distinct damages, that must be presented at the same time.

We know and understand the distinctions and what evidence is required to support the available claims. We work closely with your family to help you understand your rights and we rely on the expertise of our Estates, Trusts and Probates attorneys as an important part of your legal team.
We will be there to help you in this most difficult time and to see to it that you obtain the maximum possible amount of compensation for the loss of your loved one.
