Cases we take
For families after a wrongful death
When a crash or neglect takes someone, the family is left with the funeral, the lost income and the questions nobody will answer.
We go slowly with families. The first meeting is mostly listening, at your kitchen table if that's easier than our office. We explain who can bring the claim, what it can cover and what the deadline is.
Then we take the paperwork off your hands: the death certificate, the estate, the insurance companies and the records. Haldor leads these cases himself and keeps the family's contact to one person.
What a claim can cover
Lost income
The wages and support your family member would have brought home.
Funeral and medical costs
The bills from the last days, and the burial.
Loss of companionship
What a spouse, a child or a parent lost that money can't replace.
The estate's own claim
For the pain and the losses before death, where the law allows it.
Questions about wrongful death
Who can bring a wrongful death claim?
It depends on the state. Usually the personal representative of the estate brings it for the family. We'll tell you who that is in your case.
Is there a deadline?
Yes, and it can be as short as two years from the death, sometimes shorter against a public body. Call before you think you're ready.
Do we have to go to court?
Most claims settle. If one doesn't, we'll explain the trial before you decide anything.
