There can be few things more devastating than the death of a loved family member. It is even more difficult when the death is caused by someone else’s negligent or careless acts. The days and weeks after such an event are often overwhelming and occasionally paralyzing. It is certainly no time to make major decisions or changes in your life. You probably have many decisions to make which simply cannot be put off. Deciding whether to bring a wrongful death claim or lawsuit, is certainly one type of major decision you may be facing and which may need to be dealt with early on. Nothing can replace the good health of a person or the life of a loved one but we can help you recover money damages for:
- Funeral expenses
- Loss of future income
- Loss of the services and companionship of your loved one
- Medical expenses
- Mental anguish, sorrow and suffering
- Punitive damages due to willful conduct
The Law Firm of Jaray and Webster has helped many families after the loss of a loved one. We consider it one of our most sacred tasks to do so. We also recognize that money is not all that most people want. We have given a lot of thought to, and are helping to implement, a restorative mediation process for victims and responsible parties after a careless or negligent act which causes the death of another. Restorative mediation allows those involved to meet face to face in a facilitated, controlled environment. The purpose is for the responsible party to accept responsibility, offer an apology and explanation. In most cases, an insurance company will be involved to help repair the financial harms as well. We have used this type of process with our clients and have found it to be very helpful.
