Wrongful Death Attorney in Myrtle Beach

In a wrongful death claim, survivors may be entitled to compensation for:

• medical expenses their loved one incurred before their death (only for treatment related to the cause of death);
• funeral and burial costs;
• loss of financial support the deceased would have provided had they been alive;
• loss of companionship;
• emotional distress; and
• other related losses suffered by the surviving family members.

No, you should not. Wrongful death claims are a legal means to address the financial and emotional burdens imposed on surviving family members. If you don't seek compensation, the insurance company will pocket what you may be entitled to and count it as profit. Do not allow them to profit from your loved one's death.

You may still have a case even if the insurance company claims your loved one was at fault. These companies don't really care, even in circumstances like these, and will do everything to avoid liability. To them, it's a game of profits and losses, not fairness. That's where we come in to help even the playground and ensure that your rights are protected.

The employment status of your loved one does not necessarily bar you from recovering damages in a wrongful death claim. Damages may include various losses beyond financial contributions, such as the emotional support and companionship your loved one would have provided had they been alive.

You can file a wrongful death claim against the party responsible for your loved one's death. In most cases, compensation usually comes from their insurance provider.

Wrongful death cases are usually very complicated and particularly difficult to deal with when mourning the loss of a loved one. That's why we offer to step in to help take care of the legal aspect by ensuring you get compensated for your loss.
