Representing the Family Members When a Death Occurs
A wrongful death is a death caused by the negligent or careless actions of another person. Few things are more painful than to lose a family member in this way.
At the Burghard Law Firm, we represent the family members who are left behind after a wrongful death occurs. While nothing can replace your family member, a wrongful death lawsuit can at least compensate your family for some of the financial and personal loss you have suffered. It can also help bring closure by establishing responsibility for your loved one's death.
Attorney Ivan Burghard has experience handling all types of wrongful death cases, including fatal car and truck accidents, and death caused by medical malpractice. From law offices in Hattiesburg and Brookhaven, we represent families throughout the Mississippi Gulf Coast and Southern Mississippi.
In handling your wrongful death case, we will take a detail-oriented approach, including investigating the scene where the fatal accident occurred. Certain experts may be brought in for their insight and testimony in court if needed. A negotiated settlement is a likely resolution, but we will take your case to court if that will provide the best result for you.
Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases
Compensation in wrongful death cases is based on the actual losses experienced by each surviving family member. Those damages may include:
- Loss of enjoyment or loss of companionship.
- Emotional damages based on pain and suffering
- Lost wages
- Loss of parental guidance and support for a child
- Medical expenses incurred prior to death
- Funeral expenses
