Wrongful Death

The untimely loss of someone you love is a tragedy under any circumstances. When the death occurred because someone else was negligent or irresponsible, however, the burden of grief can seem even heavier.

If someone you love was involved in a fatal accident because another person or organization was negligent, reckless, or careless, your loved one is said to have died a wrongful death.

At the Law Office of Charles S. Philips, we understand that no amount of money can compensate you for so great a loss. However, monetary compensation is the only enforceable remedy the law allows.

Our wrongful death lawyer is a compassionate attorney who is dedicated to helping the survivors of those who died wrongfully recover the amount of compensation to which they are legally entitled.

If you have lost a loved one in a fatal car accident, truck accident, or motorcycle accident, please contact the wrongful death attorney at our law firm today for a free initial consultation and case evaluation.

A Holistic Approach to Client Service

We take a holistic approach to caring for our wrongful death clients. We may refer you to grief counseling for help with the grieving process or to a lawyer we trust to help you with estate planning and probate issues while we focus on your wrongful death claim.

We will investigate your case and bring in accident re-constructionists and other experts, as necessary, to determine what happened to your loved one and who bears responsibility.

We may assemble a DVD with photographs of your loved one, witness statements, and testimony regarding how the loss has affected you and your family to present to the insurance company as part of the settlement package.

We prepare the case as if it were going to trial. We believe that our experience and preparation play a role in insurance companies offering reasonable settlements without litigation. If a fair settlement isn’t offered, we will be prepared to file a wrongful death lawsuit and further your interests.
