Do You Need a Lawyer for a Wrongful Death Claim?
| September 2nd, 2019
If you recently lost a loved one because of another person’s or party’s negligence, you’re not just grieving your family’s loss—you’re probably also worried about how you’ll keep your heads above water. The death of a loved one isn’t just a traumatic experience, but also one that can make it difficult for families financially due to lost income. And when they’re already facing medical bills and funeral costs, the expenses may simply be too much for surviving family members to bear. You can file a wrongful death claim if your loved one’s death was preventable, but getting compensation isn’t easy. The responsible party’s insurance company will work hard to reduce or deny your claim, and if you don’t have experience in these types of lawsuits, you may be unable to fight back effectively. In addition, insurance companies are adept at finding ways to get claimants to jeopardize their own claims via lengthy and confusing paperwork, leading questions, and arbitrary time limits. Having an experienced California wrongful death lawyer on your side can help you avoid these potential pitfalls. At Berg Injury Lawyers, we know the tactics insurance companies use to get out of paying surviving family members the money they deserve, and we’ll work hard to protect your claim and your rights to compensation.
