Wrongful Death
If someone dies due to the reckless or negligent actions of another person or entity, it is called a “wrongful death.” Generally, immediate family members of the deceased can file a wrongful death claim, meaning that, in most cases, the parents, spouse or children of the victim seek legal assistance to receive any compensation to which the loved one may have been entitled, such as conscious pain and suffering. Damages to the survivors themselves, however, are limited to economic losses suffered as a result of their loved one’s premature death. The Law Firm of Herschel Gelber has helped families receive money for the decedent’s conscious pain and suffering, medical and funeral costs, lost wages, lost benefits, punitive damages (if applicable) and more. Also important, however, is the firm’s ability to empathize with the family and enable them to move forward with their lives while the firm handles their legal rights.
