Wrongful death
An accident that results in the death of a parent, spouse, or child can be a very traumatic, life-changing event. Families often are not aware that wrongful conduct caused the death because the person that died can’t tell the tale. Consequently, wrongful deaths often go undiscovered unless a thorough investigation is conducted.
You need an experienced law firm like Burmeister Gilmore LLP to investigate the facts and obtain the compensation you will need to support you and your family. Depending on the circumstances, we may hire medical experts, accident reconstruction experts, and other experts to determine how the death occurred. We advance all expenses and you do not owe us a penny until we obtain a monetary recovery for you.
