Alabama Wrongful Death Lawyers
The sudden, unexpected loss of a loved one is always shocking and painful. If someone close to you has died due to the negligent, reckless, or intentional behavior of another party, it is essential that you contact a well-established personal injury law firm. You should ensure that the law firm has extensive experience and expertise in prosecuting wrongful death cases and in particular the type of accident that caused the fatality. Alabama wrongful death attorneys at Ferguson & Ferguson understand the devastation and grief that families feel when a loved one has been killed in a preventable fatal accident, as well as the emotional and financial challenges that families face going forward. Over the years we have represented hundreds of families, including husbands, wives, children, parents, brothers and sisters who have lost beloved family members in tragic, preventable deaths. A wrongful death is a death due to someone else’s carelessness or negligence. Every state has a civil wrongful death statute or set of statutes, which establish the procedures for bringing wrongful death actions. In most states, the decedent’s immediate family members (surviving spouses and children, and sometimes parents or siblings) may bring action. Wrongful death claims may arise out of car accidents, truck accidents, motorcycle accidents, medical malpractice, property negligence, and other incidents of negligence.
Why Hire Ferguson & Ferguson
Our attorneys understand the wrongful death laws. Our lawyers represent clients all over the country. In Alabama, unlike in other states, the family of a loved one who is killed as a result of another person’s negligence is entitled only to punitive damages, not compensatory damages. This means you can ask the jury to punish the person who is at fault for the wrongful death, but you cannot receive damages for your loved one’s expected future income. Ferguson & Ferguson is familiar with the complexities of pursuing wrongful death actions and has had numerous seven figure successes. If you have lost a loved one at the hands of another, our firm can help. Our attorneys will investigate the circumstances of the wrongful death. We will determine all the responsible parties, whether the fatality was caused by a defective product, a car or truck accident, or a boating accident.
