Types of Wrongful Death Claims

Negligence leading to a wrongful death may arise in all sorts of tragic accidents and situations. A wrongful death claim may be filed if the victim’s family believes the death was the consequence of carelessness or negligence, and are able to prove this claim.

Some types of wrongful death claims include:

Motor vehicle accidents
Accidents at work
Defective products
Dangerous prescription medications
Boating accidents

The sudden loss of a loved one is one of the hardest experiences anyone can go through. Filing a claim is often the last thing on a person’s mind after their loss. Unfortunately, there is a limited timeframe in which a person can file a wrongful death claim, which is why it is important to consider this option.

Amazing!!!!!!!

Mr. Weinstein is a fantastic attorney with whom I have the utmost respect for. As an attorney myself, practicing a completely different area of law (criminal) when I needed an attorney to handle my personal injury case, Mr. Weinstein not only took his time to review my case but walked me through each and every step with the patience and respect I aspire to provide to my clients. Mr. Weinstein is a results driven, ethical and professional attorney who will zealously advocate on your behalf, just as he did mine. I can’t thank him enough.
