Wrongful death claims can emanate from a wide range of actions. Car accidents, workplace accidents, defective products, construction accidents, and criminal actions can all result in wrongful death claims. Regardless of the cause of the death, it is important to quickly contact a wrongful death lawyer. A wrongful death lawsuit must be file within two years of the date of death. The claim can seek damages for a wide range of personal and economic losses:

• Medical expenses related to care, treatment, and hospitalization
• Compensation for pain and suffering prior to death
• Compensation to replace the income of the deceased
• Compensation for the loss of services, protection, care and assistance which would have been provided by the deceased
• Compensation for the loss of society, companionship, comfort, guidance, kindly offices, and advice which would have been provided by the deceased
• Punitive damages (may be available in cases of gross negligence or misconduct)

At Smyth & Cioffi, LLP, we recognize that wrongful death lawsuits are highly emotional and we strive to resolve them through negotiated settlements. As experience trial lawyers with a reputation for producing quality outcomes at trial, we are often able to avoid litigation. However, we have the experience and resources to effectively build a case and present it to a jury, when necessary.
