Any illegal or negligent act that results in another person’s death can constitute a wrongful death claim. These claims usually surface because of careless or reckless actions that have fatal consequences. Wrongful death claims generally fill two roles depending on your state’s laws: a personal injury claim for the deceased and the surviving family’s compensation. No matter the cause, wrongful death claims are complex, but the attorneys at Mottaz & Sisk are experienced and will be here to represent you every step of the way.
