While a wrongful death claim may seem straightforward, and an insurance company may offer a quick settlement, it is important to consult an attorney with experience handling these cases. Alabama's wrongful death statute is complex. Claims related to a fatal accident must be brought within two years and can only be brought by the estate of the deceased. Alabama only allows for punitive damages, not compensatory damages. Insurance companies often exploit this to minimize the compensation that the decedent's estate receives for the loss. We work with personal representatives to maximize their compensation.

Our firm has handled a number of wrongful death cases resulting from various causes. We are prepared to represent clients in a variety of wrongful death claims, including:

• Car accidents
• Truck accidents
• Workplace accidents
• Accidents involving defective products
• Premises liability
• Medication errors
• Nursing home abuse and neglect

We understand that no amount of money can compensate for the loss of a family member. However, losing a spouse or child can have significant financial and emotional consequences. We strive to help personal representatives recover damages for the estate, in turn putting the deceased's family in a position to move forward with their lives.
