Wrongful Death
Representing the Surviving Families of Victims in Wrongful Death Cases in North Carolina
A loved one’s passing is a tragedy. To grieving family members who are struggling in a new life without a spouse, child, sibling or parent, a lawsuit is probably the last thing on their minds. Meanwhile, insurance companies are hard at work gathering evidence and building a legal defense in an attempt to avoid or limit paying a wrongful death claim. The family of a victim killed by recklessness or negligence should obtain their own legal team as soon as possible to quickly investigate the case and protect their rights.
