Understanding Wrongful Death Claims

A wrongful death occurs when a person’s life is lost due to the negligence, recklessness, or intentional misconduct of another party. Wrongful death claims allow surviving family members to seek compensation for financial and emotional damages resulting from their loss. These claims not only provide families with financial relief but also help bring accountability and justice to prevent similar tragedies from occurring in the future.

Types of Wrongful Death Cases We Handle

John D. Pallante represents clients in a wide range of wrongful death cases, including:

• Fatal Car Accidents: Negligent driving, such as speeding, distracted driving, or driving under the influence, often leads to fatal crashes. John ensures that responsible parties are held accountable.
• Medical Malpractice Fatalities: When healthcare providers fail to meet the standard of care, resulting in fatal injuries or illnesses, families have the right to seek justice.
• Workplace Fatalities: Unsafe work environments or employer negligence can lead to tragic workplace accidents. John helps families navigate these complex claims, including third-party liability cases.
• Nursing Home Wrongful Death: Neglect, abuse, or unsafe conditions in nursing homes can tragically lead to a loved one’s death. John advocates fiercely for families in these emotionally charged cases.
• Product Liability Wrongful Death: Defective or dangerous products can cause fatal injuries. John investigates these claims thoroughly to hold manufacturers, distributors, or retailers accountable.
• Premises Liability Wrongful Death: Property owners have a duty to maintain safe premises. Fatal injuries caused by unsafe conditions, such as falls or hazardous environments, may result in a premises liability wrongful death claim.

Compensation in Wrongful Death Cases

While no amount of money can replace a loved one, a wrongful death claim can help provide financial stability and hold negligent parties accountable. Compensation in wrongful death cases may include:

• Medical Expenses: Covering any medical treatment provided before the loved one’s passing.
• Funeral and Burial Costs: Providing relief from the financial burden of laying a loved one to rest.
• Lost Income and Financial Support: Compensation for the loss of the deceased’s earnings and financial contributions to the family.
• Loss of Companionship: Addressing the emotional pain and loss of support from a spouse, parent, or child.
• Pain and Suffering: Accounting for the emotional distress and trauma experienced by the family.

John works diligently to calculate and pursue full compensation for families, ensuring that all damages are thoroughly addressed.
