Wrongful death

Needless fatalities occur across the United States everyday.  Wrongful Death Attorneys in South Carolina provides some statistics about these fatalities.  These statistics represent hundreds of people who have lost their lives in avoidable tragedies.  Wrongful death claims are viable when the unfortunate and untimely death of a loved one is due to the direct negligence of another party, such as:

  • An individual
  • A company
  • A hospital
  • Healthcare workers

Attaining restitution will ease your struggle

Wrongful deaths often have a major financial impact on the descendant’s heirs. A successful lawsuit can ease the financial burden of:
  • Hospital bills
  • Funeral costs
  • Loss of salary
  • Loss of benefits
  • Childcare providers
  • Pain and suffering

Although many people may suffer the grave consequences of a wrongful death, only immediate family members can file suit. An attorney will examine the case facts and relationships to decide how much compensation each family member receives.

Suspicion of foul play is reason to contact a wrongful death attorney 

When surviving family members fail to file a wrongful death lawsuit, the responsible party gets away with misconduct or carelessness. These dangerous people need to be held liable. In South Carolina, the statute of limitations on personal injury and wrongful death claims is ordinarily three years, but can be as short as two years.  Unfortunately, many people fail to seek a lawyer within that time.
