Makkabi Law Group, among the nation's top personal injury law firms, has recovered $150,000,000 on behalf of its clients, including Wrongful Death.

A wrongful death occurs when a decedent is killed due to the negligence (or other bad act) of a defendant. The survivor, living dependent or beneficiary is allowed to recover monetary damages in certain situations. The claim is brought in a civil action, usually by a spouse, child, parent, or other close relative.

If you have lost a loved one as the result of a personal injury accident, no amount of money can replace your loss, or properly compensate you, but you need an experienced wrongful death attorney to represent you. This is an extremely emotional and stressful time, and only a successful wrongful death attorney with expertise in this very specialized area of law should represent you, who will also give you personal attention, and be sensitive to your needs.

We are extremely thorough in the preparation of each case; we are relentless in the pursuit to win for our clients; we are aggressive against the opposition; and we work harder than the opposing attorneys.

We are equipped with state-of-the-art technology to ensure that our cases are well-organized, our presentations are powerful and effective, and our messages impact opposing attorneys, insurance adjusters, judges, and jurors. As your wrongful death attorney, we will follow every lead and use all resources available to prove what happened.

If a wrongful death has occurred to a loved one, you are entitled to the following applicable compensation:

  • Compensation for your pain and suffering.
  • Recovery of loss of earnings of the decedent.
  • Compensation for your loss of companionship, love, comfort, care, guidance, assistance, protection, and affection.
  • Reimbursement for burial and funeral expenses.
  • Recovery of your present and future financial losses.
  • Reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses incurred.
  • Reimbursement or payments of any medical expenses incurred.

What is my case worth?

The amount of damages wrongful death attorneys can obtain for you depends on many factors such as the age and health of the deceased and heirs, the life expectancy of the deceased and heirs, the financial loss, the emotional loss, who the heirs are, the insurance coverage, and whether or not surviving family members were dependent upon the deceased for income for support. Also to be considered in computing damages is the loss of companionship, loss of love and affection of the surviving spouse, children, parents and other surviving family members. You are also entitled to all out of pocket expenses incurred, such as funeral expenses.
