Wrongful death cases and the circumstances surrounding them are typically tough to deal with on so many levels. The family is often in emergency mode while simultaneously trying to come to grips with the disaster and tragic loss of a loved one. At the same time, family members may be embarking on a quest to get as much information as possible from an employer in order to determine what actually happened at a job site.
As a result, there is an overload of emotions and many individuals may feel overwhelmed. People react to tragedy and loss in different ways – some just “give up” and retreat from the loudness of daily life. Others go the opposite direction and become very aggressive, demanding to know all of the exact details and leaning heavily on employer representatives, insurance company personnel and others to get the full story. However, the aggressive approach does not often take them very far because employers and insurance companies have their own built-in defenses to help them handle outside scrutiny.
With all of this in play, there’s a real need for someone who’s able to come in and assist from an objective and impartial standpoint — someone (or several people) who can take on all of the complex and delicate tasks associated with a wrongful death investigation, from doing all of the fact-finding and research, to communicating with all of the involved parties in a way that’s calm, professional and effective.
How Attorneys Can Help in These Situations
Personal injury and wrongful death attorneys generally act as advocates for their clients, respecting the feelings of family members and making sure that the family’s best interests are served in a court of law. This might mean bringing family members up-to-date on court hearings or other events. It might mean going up against the legal teams serving employers or insurance companies. And it just might mean listening and being attentive, helping clients understand their legal options and letting them make the tough decisions while having good counsel on their side.
Professional wrongful death lawyers work to show possible defendants or responsible parties that just because a family is bereaved, they are not going to back down from a fair and equitable legal solution.
