Wrongful Death Lawyer in Mobile

Alabama is a more restrictive state, where only punitive damages may be recovered for a wrongful death. Damages are not expected to compensate the heirs for the loss of a loved one, and do not replace income. The action must be brought by the deceased’s personal representative.

Instead, they are only responsible for punishing wrongdoing and to discourage or otherwise try to prevent the negligent act from occurring again.

This may appear to make providing for your family financially difficult, but a seasoned attorney can successfully portray the negligent act to give you the best chance at justice.
